Respect for Acting
"This fascinating and detailed book about acting is Miss Hagen's credo, the accumulated wisdom of her years spent in intimate communion with her art. It is at once the voicing of her exacting standards for herself and those she [taught], and an explanation of the means to the end."
--Publishers Weekly
"Hagen adds to the large corpus of titles on acting with vivid dicta drawn from experience, skill, and a sense of personal and professional worth. Her principal asset in this treatment is her truly significant imagination. Her 'object exercises' display a wealth of detail with which to stimulate the student preparing a scene for presentation."
--Library Journal
"Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting . . . is a relatively small book. But within it, Miss Hagen tells the young actor about as much as can be conveyed in print of his craft."
--Los Angeles Times
"There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by Uta Hagen."
--Fritz Weaver
"This is a textbook for aspiring actors, but working thespians can profit much by it. Anyone with just a casual interest in the theater should also enjoy its behind-the-scenes flavor."
--King Features Syndicate
The best lessons ever laid out!
| Customer Rating: | | This is one of the most intelligent, clearly laid out acting books on the market! |
Very Dry
| Customer Rating:  | | I had to read this for acting class. Author has a stuck-up, snooty know it all tone. Paragraphs are very long & wordy, not friendly to the reader at all. While this book has good information, the presentation of the material is downright awful. Aside from the good techniques presented, I would say that it is a very difficult read, quite possibly the worst book ever written. Follow-up should be "The Guide to being a feminist snob." |
Great--but skip and read "A Challenge for the Actor"
| Customer Rating: | | This book is great, don't get me wrong. But her later book, "A Challenge for the Actor" takes everything of value in this book, elaborates on it, and adds oodles more information and insight (reflecting the author's own revising of her approach and methods over the years). Reading both isn't necessary; I would head straight for "...Challenge..." |
Waited too long!!
| Customer Rating: | | The book took longer than the specified time to arrive. I requested information about shipping a few weeks after ordering but never received a reply. Eventually the book arrived wrapped in plain copy paper and tape almost a month after ordering. Another vendor may be the best choice! |
A Classic
| Customer Rating: | This book is a classic. I should be read by everyone interested in a career in acting. I'm a Talent Manager and partner in www.actinglink.com and I recommend this book to everyone of my clients. It's been called "the textbook for aspiring actors". If you are interested in acting but not sure where to start, I would strongly suggest starting with this book.
