Abstract

The authors use the terms "vocal", "productive vocal activity", "voice therapy", "vocal therapy", "vocal means" as synonyms in scientific research, which is a relevant technological technique in speech therapy, as an advanced pedagogical experience supplementing speech therapy science and practice. The article describes the therapeutic potential of vocal activity and the long-term experience of the leading Russian speech therapists in the practical application of elements of productive vocal activity for correctional and speech therapy work. The evolutionary-historical relationship between colloquial speech and singing and the high corrective potential of vocals laid the foundation for the diffusion of vocal elements into speech therapy practice as early as the middle of the XXth century. Successful long-term experience of application of vocal elements, primarily in the field of medical speech therapy, outlines a tangible resource for practical and scientific-theoretical research in this direction. The use of the components of vocal-pedagogical practice in the implementation of rehabilitation measures in patients with speech pathologies makes it possible to enhance noticeably the correctional speech therapy impact. It is also very important that vocals, in one form or another, can be successfully used to develop and automate the correct formation of complex supersegmental speech properties, acting as extra components in relation to the main pronunciation of words and sounds, that is, in other words, speech prosodic.
