Synopsis
Since its original publication in 1973, Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting has remained a durable classic for all students of acting. As an acting instructor at the Herbert Berghof Studio, Hagen helped to develop the talents of world-class actors like Robert DeNiro, Matthew Broderick, Gene Wilder, Amanda Peet, Austin Pendleton, Whoopi Goldberg, and more. This updated edition illuminates Hagen's original text with a new foreword written by Katie Finneran, retaining the David Hyde Pierce foreword, along with added background on HB Studio—one of the original New York performing arts training and practice spaces—and an excerpt from Hagen's autobiography SOURCES.Respect for Acting is a book for actors and audiences who understand the need for truth in the creative process.● Discover the acting book that has shaped professional theater performances for decades● Learn the history and background of Herbert Berghof Studio● Practice the craft of acting with concrete exercises and instruction on technique● Delve into the deep questions that arise when actors truly inhabit the lives of their characters
