Summary/Abstract: This essay highlights the importance of psychology knowledge in theater pedagogy. The expressiveness of the actor is desirable, but must call in psychology. To reach the highest form of expression of current acting students and future actors, it is imperative that educational process includes a series of exercises that develop all the basic skills, but only through psychology. When referring to the actor’s voice without us worrying about self-knowledge, without understanding the reasons that cause a speech devoid of the most basic skills, especially without understanding what`s wrong when it is wrong, there are few chance to correct something in the stage speaking of the student.
