Artistic speech therapy has not developed separate, specific methods, based on the results of experimental research. From the very beginning, this specialization has been using – both in practice and in theoretical reflection – tools developed within the framework of, among others, speech therapy, linguistics and rhetoric. There are elements assessed in artistic speech therapy that do not conform to standardized criteria, which is why it has used, uses and will also use the intuitive knowledge of a speech therapist, e.g. in the assessment of the aesthetic sound of sounds, text interpretation, and vocal qualities. However, when specializing in the field of artistic and media speech therapy, it is also necessary to take into account the results of experimental research, allowing insight into areas that have been relatively rarely studied before, and very important in this specialty, such as the prosodic components of speech or voice.

The chapter discusses the concept of model pronunciation in the context of theatrical stylisation on the example of dialectal stylisation. Characteristic features of the Cracow regional dialect are presented. The dialect lines were analyzed in the stage productions of Stanisław Wyspiański's The Wedding – directed by Andrzej Wajda and Jerzy Grzegorzewski, and in the film by Wajda. It was concluded that there is the need for cooperation of the artistic speech therapist in consulting the sound of the text and the pronunciation of the actors on the stage.
