Abstract

In the 21st century, it is hard to imagine actors’ speech tools without technical aids. Society’s rapid adoption of life on the Internet furnished by modern technolo- gies is creating a fast progressing explosion of knowledge. These new standards un- doubtedly influence and determine the development of theatrical language, and thus actors’ speech.
