"The Heller Approach" is an acting technique that gives actors a simple yet practical and solid foundation so that actors are ready and empowered with reliable and easily accessible tools to work in any medium. The technique and its application are based on muscle memory and not on past personal experiences.
The amazing technique is born from working actors and directors. It truly frees the artist to access feelings and thoughts that are universal to all humans, helping actors to create the most believable, entertaining characters in a way that is conducive to the fast-paced entertainment industry.
"The Heller Approach" is taught exclusively by Brad Heller, a working actor, director, and acting coach. Group classes are available every Wednesday night and Tuesday days in Los Angeles, California. Private lessons are also available via Skype, Zoom, or in person.
Professor Heller taught for 5 years at UCLA before opening his own acting studio in 1995. Heller's teachings are based on the works of his former teacher and mentor, Don Richardson, who was an original member of the Group Theater, which was the nucleus of Acting in the United States. Richardson's fellow students were Sanford Meisner, Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg, and Uta Hagen. Don was one of the Group Theatre students who said, "The Method is NOT what acting is about." He directed over 800 television shows in his time.
Don's acting technique became a rescue for Brad Heller because despite having a degree in theater from one of the world's finest theater programs, Boston University School of Theater Arts, and trying multiple acting techniques, Brad could not enjoy the process of acting. Combining Don Richardson's acting technique with the knowledge of anxiety from Dr. Eda Gorbis and lessons from his mentor Academy Award winner Seth Winston, and more, the Hell

Finally I didn’t just hear, “Think of when you lost a loved one. Think of when your dog died.” Really? Brad this is genius!
-
Wow, this seems so much healthier than than going through a rollercoaster of personal trauma
-
It also helps to be naturally anxious lol
-
Brad, write a book.
-
Robert downey jr teaches acting now????
-
when you said disbelief, I didn't have to fake it. I really cannot believe how well this works! I have been struggling for so long on my emotions, and thinking back to a memory doesn't always work, because sometimes the memory is distant. This works so much better!

Bob Ross came back from the dead in RDJ's body, to give us acting lessons.
-
I've been watching Joseph Morgan (Klaus Mikaelson), in 'The Originals'. He's amazing in his highly emotional scenes. He's charming and real.

For me the breathing exercise is more effective if I close my eyes. I’ve done this before.
-
This. Is. GENIUS. This is PURE GENIUS. I’ve always struggled with trying to attach my own emotions with my dialogue or getting them to come up, but just saying the word of the emotion I’m feeling works WONDERS for me. It truly gets me to feel something genuine. Thank you
-
Can you please do a video about crying on cue? It’s the major problem I have while acting.
-

-
I JUST HYPERVENTILATED AT MY DESK! WOW THIS IS GREAT!
-
Genius idea about the word and breathing technique. This actually increases my self confidence during a scene.
-
This works....I actually just cried !
-
I took part of the money I had set aside to finish the last semester of a Meisner course and ordered Don Richardson's book, "Acting Without Agony." I made the right decision. lol
-
Thank you so much Brad.
-
Crying on cue has been such a mystery to me...I've seen all the videos. When I clicked this video I wasn't even looking for crying on cue, I was just wanting to learn about how to evoke emotions. So I tried your method of saying the word "joy" and notice that "tingle". Kept on repeating the word, 5 seconds in I was suddenly in tears.. wasn't even thinking abt crying but suddenly my associations with the word came to life. THIS METHOD WORKS

Man! you are giving free diamonds in the hand of new actors, such precious advices! i really appreciate your job, thank you so much!
-
I'm so glad I came across this video, usually people always told me to connect my past emotions with how I wanted to feel in that moment and my biggest struggle was sometimes this didn't work this has helped me a lot! Thank you!
