The significance of phonetically representative texts in the study of the individuality of voice and speech of speakers in the analysis of the acoustic parameters of the timbre of the voice from experimental speech phonograms in order to search for signs that individualize the speaker's personality is considered. The results of the study of the most common texts from the position of phonetic representativeness and balance, the naturalness of the functioning of the speech apparatus and the temporary load on it in the process of voicing texts are presented. To implement the planned scientific research on the analysis of the acoustic parameters of the voice timbre, a corpus of phonetically representative texts has been compiled, consisting of well-known lexical materials and a special text including phonetic units missing in the original material.

The secondary objective was the development of the methods for this purpose. We analyzed the literature sources, the methodological instructive regulations, and the results of medical criminalistics investigations.

The study included the analysis of the relevant literature publications, methodological proposals of the authors of the present article, and the results of their medical criminalistics investigations and laboratory experiments. The results of the study give evidence that the spectral analysis provides an acceptable tool for distinguishing the stable identification signs of a given acoustic group that characterize the functional-dynamic complexes of oral speech skills skills for the medical criminalistic identification of the speaker.
