How to Stop Acting: A Renowned Acting Coach Shares His Revolutionary Approach to Landing Roles, Developing Them and Keeping them Alive Review: Every Acting Student Should Read This! - Excellent book for actors transitioning for education to professional life. Guskin brings a healthy blend of instinct, imagination, humor, relaxation, and channeled focus on his analysis of acting. This book proved all my good acting mentors right, and the abusive, bullying ones dead wrong. Review: Good read - I disagree with much of his teaching, but still this book is worth reading. Great examples / stories. He advises against method (objective, obstacles, stakes) and wants actors to be free to find and follow their inspirations. But he also strongly stresses the need for deep script analysis. Much the same? The title refers to the idea that an audience should never see you “acting”, btw. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0571199992 | | Best Sellers Rank | #175,878 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #84 in Acting & Auditioning (Books) #212 in Movie History & Criticism #839 in Dramas & Plays | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (442) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.49 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9780571199990 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0571199990 | | Item Weight | 7.1 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | June 25, 2003 | | Publisher | Farrar, Straus and Giroux | ## Images ![How to Stop Acting: A Renowned Acting Coach Shares His Revolutionary Approach to Landing Roles, Developing Them and Keeping them Alive - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815nx0kNKxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Acting Student Should Read This! *by A***N on January 25, 2026* Excellent book for actors transitioning for education to professional life. Guskin brings a healthy blend of instinct, imagination, humor, relaxation, and channeled focus on his analysis of acting. This book proved all my good acting mentors right, and the abusive, bullying ones dead wrong. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by B***C on July 15, 2025* I disagree with much of his teaching, but still this book is worth reading. Great examples / stories. He advises against method (objective, obstacles, stakes) and wants actors to be free to find and follow their inspirations. But he also strongly stresses the need for deep script analysis. Much the same? The title refers to the idea that an audience should never see you “acting”, btw. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To be an actor don;t act, just be. *by J***Y on June 29, 2019* Some excellent and simple instructions in this book which I used the very afternoon I read a chapter and I "took it off the page". Well the technique worked because the audition looked and sounded much better. Don't know yet if I got the part. I think however, if anyone is chasing fame and fortune on the hope of being a successful actor, you may be disappointed. One thing about this book is that it is crystal clear: true actors are souls with a deep passion for quality and truth in their craft. They don't need fame or money. They just need a good script. And the best actors don't act. Sounds weird but it's true. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Stop Acting: A Renowned Acting Coach Shares His Revolutionary Approach to Landing Roles, Developing Them and Keeping them Alive - Sanford Meisner on Acting - The Power of the Actor: The Chubbuck Technique -- The 12-Step Acting Technique That Will Take You from Script to a Living, Breathing, Dynamic Character --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1428706-how-to-stop-acting-a-renowned-acting-coach-shares-his](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1428706-how-to-stop-acting-a-renowned-acting-coach-shares-his) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
