SynopsisRespect for Acting "This fascinating and detailed book about acting is Miss Hagens 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 Hagens 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."

Almost three weeks later...
I ordered this book for school and practically don’t need it anymore because it took almost three weeks to get here. The original ETA was a week prior to the date it actually appeared. Very annoying. It was in all right shape, especially for $4. I guess I’ll just pas it on to the teacher for the next group in case someone doesn’t have one...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
