Summary/Abstract: This research is motivated by theoretical as well as practical, personal examples, explaining why I believe the realm of radio theatre is metaphorical and original. The first part of the article explores three elements of acting technique are presented: Imagination, Voice and Tempo-rhythm. These are inevitably found in radio theatre, showcasing the enduring relevance of the Stanislavski method, which can be a demonstration of the universality over time of the way in which the Russian theoretician thought about the theater. Subsequently, the paper discusses the National Radiophonic Theatre as a beacon of top-quality theatre and delves into the independent radio project Legendele Dobrogei, conducted in Constanța, in which I participated, portraying twenty roles across twenty radio productions. The final section of the article, brings to the attention of the readers what is the role of the actor in the whole story of the radio theater, a story full of metaphors that appear when you look at them with the mind's eye.
