Product Description
From Library Journal
Adler, among the most acclaimed actresses and teachers of acting, has written a dynamic book that is sure to become a classic. After the forward by former pupil Marlon Brando, Adler explains her technique, which is based on the methods of Stanislavskishe was a student of the famous Russian. The 12 chapters cover goals, body and speech control, imagination, action, and character; the book also includes a very useful listing of scenes from well-known plays. Adler made her stage debut in 1906 at the age of four and has been training actors at her Stella Adler Conservatory in New York since 1949. One of the best-written books on the subject; sure to become a standard text for acting classes. Howard E. Miller, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Missouri Lib., St. Louis

Psychological Acting,
By Andrew Belofsky (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Technique of Acting (Paperback)
This is a very good book for people who want to dedicate their lives to acting. It goes through basic conditions which people have to create for themselves so acting works for them. The field of acting is so tenuous that it takes all the concentration a person has, this book gives guidance to gaining that concentration. I found it to be a valuable tool when studying to become an actor. I recommend novices and professionals alike to read and reread this book becuase it sets things in motion, it gets your brain and your body ready for what you have to confront as an actor. It empahsizes focus, dilligence and above all to know yourself. I honestly can say that this book made a differnce in my approach to acting and I think it will definitely affect other readers and benefit their objectives whether it be in theater or film.

Stella Adler should be in any actor or student actor library,
By Dame de Drama - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Technique of Acting (Hardcover)
Stella Adler books along with Stanislavsky, Harold Clurman, Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, are a few of the must have's for acting students. There are many more good ones for actors and acting students but you can't go wrong with these.
