We develop a generalized conditional symmetry approach for the functional separation of variables in a nonlinear wave equation with a nonlinear wave speed. We use it to obtain a number of new $(1+1)$-dimensional nonlinear wave equations with variable wave speeds admitting a functionally separable solution. As a consequence, we obtain exact solutions of the resulting equations.
Keywords: Lie symmetries, generalized symmetries, nonlinear equations.
