A Challenge For The Actor

So helpful! Love it so much.

Don’t you just love those books that you buy for a single niche purpose, but instead literally take over your life for a time? This is one of those books. I am a stage actor in Charleston, looking for work and practicing the techniques I already know, when I stumble upon this. Now, hands down, the best book for acting you could ever look for would be Stella Adler: The Art of Acting, but I choose to read books with heathen techniques in them just to see what a good teacher sees as a good actor. Anyways, I picked up this book to better my work ethic and see things a little more clearly as an actor. Lo and behold, I found myself with many sleepless nights WRITING. I hadn’t written anything for leisure since I moved to Charleston, but now, my God, I wake up and wonder what can I do? I read poetry for the first time in my life and try, time and time again to do better work than the work I did before. I recommend this book to any and everyone. It’s a book that working a creative office should own.

I am of the opinion that each Actor has to find what works best for Her/Him. This book is a great Start, Middle or End (such is my case). After countless books, classes, workshops, and Roles, I have finally found something that resonates with my Spirit,Soul,and Body. This book is so great, that I can't wait to try out what I connect with so far (I have not read it all). If you are looking for another approach to the beautiful craft of Acting, just to consider, this is a must!!!!

My acting coach holds this work in high regard. Her and Micheal Shurtleff. Good combination for the serious actor in a business where there's not much call for serious actors anymore since corporations make movies now. But an excellent read nonetheless for the sake of the craft in the classic sense.

Uta brought The Method to the American Actor and her influence continues. There are so many teachers who base their knowledge on her early work, this is a great chance to catch up to what she really thought was important for the Actor to know. This is an extension to what you think you know and for me a chance to reinterpret some of my own teachers in studios where The Method is taught.

This is one of the best books out there for learning acting, and Uta is the person to teach it to you. I was fortunate enough to study under Howard Fine in Los Angeles, and this is his key literature. There are lessons that you can follow, and her style of teaching is easy to follow any will get anyone interested in acting on their way. A must read!

A master book, along with Hagen’s Respect for Acting, from THE master coach. She is why I study at HB Studio. Must have for any actor’s library.

I order several books on acting techniques, and this one is the best yet. Stanislavsky's books are important but not as well organised or current. Sanford Meinsner's is great but not as detailed or thorough and doesn't cover as many topics/areas in learning the techniques. The lessons and exercises in this book are clear and useful. Uta is a good teacher and is so very generous to share her knowledge. You will get great results combining this book with Buddhism or wisdom from Eastern meditation techniques. They are all about being more intuitive, following the heart, responding to life moment to moment. I highly recommend it!

Really professional and prompt service. Item was as described. Many thanks.

A good book if you are interested in pursuing a career in acting. Helps actors develop their craft further.

El libro es la continuación de Respect for acting, y según mi novia que es la que lo lee, es el complemento ideal de dicho libro. El libro se ve muy bien y resulta llamativo a primera vista. El tamaño varía un poco pero nada de que preocuparse.

到着が予定日より遅れたので不安になりました。 本書は、ウタ ハーゲンが前作の 『役を生きる 演技レッスン Respect for acting 』は彼女の研究途中のものであり、それを訂正せんが為に著したものだそうで、日本語訳が出ていないのでやむおえず英語版を買ったのですが、比較的優しい単語で読み難くはないです。これから役に立ちそうです。本当のウタ ハーゲンが目指したものを知りたい方には必読書です。
