The purpose of the article is to analyse the emotional hearing role and empathy as components of the actor’s work on a stage image in the improving modern theatrical pedagogical context. Methodology of the research is based on the main methodological principles: the objectivity principle, which allows the author to consider the emotional hearing role and empathy in the historical-art-pedagogical section in all their complexity, multidimensionality and contradiction, taking into account the totality of positive and negative aspects of their content; the scientific principle clarifies the causal relationships between scientifically verified knowledge that correspond to the current development level of the language science, emotional rumors and actor’s empathy and their significance in performing arts; the development principles and interaction, relativity, integrity, practicality provide an opportunity for authors to consider these phenomena complex and trace trends. Taken together, this methodology provides an opportunity to reveal the outlined problem significance in terms of practical art studies through the prism of pedagogical aspects. The scientific novelty. Researches by both psychologists and practitioners of theatrical art and teachers show the importance of emotional hearing and empathy in the human process and, in particular, stage communication. In the research course, a direct relationship was found between the emotional hearing level and the empathy of the actor and his artistic potency to create highly artistic stage images. Conclusions. It would be legitimate to say that speech and emotional hearing play an important role in the human perception process. In the actor art, they play a leading role, both in the acting imagination work in the creating an artistic image process, and in dialogical communication with partners on the stage and with the audience. For a modern actor, it is important to develop not only speech and emotional rumors, but also empathy there is the ability to experience both active and passive. It is also worth noting that the nature of improvisational creativity in the actor art is directly related to such characteristics as emotional hearing and empathy.
