About this ebook
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

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A highly regarded treatise on acting methodology
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The classic- "and still Champeen!"- of all acting guides. Required reading (literally, for me as an undergrad student) for anyone in the business. Teaches you how to deconstruct and reconstruct your entire part while keeping your head in the game. Exercise, anecdotes and sage advice all contained within.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hits all the critical points anybody interested in the art of acting needs to find. Very straight to the point and minimal anecdotes, all of which did occur were very relevant to the point being made.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In the early 1980's I was fortunate enough to participate in a master class with Uta Hagen and watch her perform in a one woman show afterwards.This text is terrific for actors. To this day when working on a role, I still draw from Ms. Hagen's work.For those who want to gain perspective I would also highly recommend reading Sir Laurence Olivier's writing about acting. (Ms. Hagen was NOT a fan of Sir Larry.)You will get two polar approaches to the craft which IMO are both exemplary methods to developing a character.
