Summary/Abstract: This report examines the meaning, importance, and impact of a clearly presented and understandable text in vocal art. Even the most beautiful singing will lose its impact if the text remains incomprehensible to the listener, which, unfortunately, happens often. In the report, the author has outlined several fundamental approaches to preserve the clarity of the text, such as: – following the logical semantic emphasis of the phrases; – good articulation of vowels and consonants in the process of singing. There is a particular emphasis on the reason for the appearances of prosody and especially on the ways to avoid them in the vocal work, as this is something that students constantly have to comprehend and overcome in their studies. In conclusion: it should be borne in mind that although the text is a living and constantly evolving organism, there must be a permanent demand to improve its clarity and intelligibility.
