Respect for Acting by actress and teacher
Uta Hagen (Wiley Publishing, 1973) is a
textbook used in many
acting classes. Hagen's instructions and examples guide the aspiring actor through practical problems such as "How do I talk to the audience?" and "How do I stay fresh in a long run?" She advocates the actor's use of
substitution in informing and shaping the action of the character the actor is playing.
