𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁: The Heller Approach is a one of a kind Non-Method acting technique suitable for all levels, from the beginner looking for an effective approach to start an acting career to the seasoned professional actor who finds acting no longer enjoyable, complex, mentally draining, and confusing. The Heller Approach Acting Studio, located in Hollywood, CA, was founded by an actor, director, and acting teacher, Brad Heller, is currently rated as one of the top acting schools in Los Angeles. We teach students at our theater in Hollywood and also on Zoom to students all over the globe. The Heller Approach provides you a simple structure and a fun way to learn acting, completely practical, without needing to indulge in “The Method” type personal experiences that can be extremely exhausting and traumatic. Furthermore, this acting technique will help you learn about scene analysis, cold reading, and audition techniques, various movie genres like comedy and drama, and create the most believable, entertaining characters in a way that is conducive to the fast-paced entertainment industry.
The Heller Approach is an acting technique taught exclusively by Brad Heller, who coached actors for 5 years at UCLA before opening his own studio in 1995. Heller's teachings are based on the works of his former teacher and mentor, Don Richardson, an original member of the legendary Group Theatre, 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.” 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 Heller Approach has become trusted by thousands of students globally.

Hey, how’s acting going?

[@stevemcclendon1068]

I want to act because it's an art and I believe I'm an artistic person who possess the skills to become one.

I guess I really am at level 1 considering such seemingly basic principles, yet i couldn't come the these questions at all when trying to prepare to tell the story of the role I'm playing. Thank you so much for your knowledge and please continue sharing.

[@shaundawes7006]

At First, I was ready to Look For Some Other Video. Now That I Watched The Rest Of This Guy.. I Am Going To Watch Some More Of HIS Videos. Great Wisdom From This Guy.

[@Archudine]

I go to a performing arts college called the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, and these videos have been a really great way to keep myself engaged in the mindset of an actor over my summer vacation when I have felt as though my mind has been rather stagnant. I have been reading acting books and the great works of William Shakespeare, but nothing is a substitute for a lecture setting like this for me. So thank you very much for doing something like this for young budding actors to reinforce foundational concept that apply to acting, and for making it free because as I had mentioned I am a college student. I hope that you all continue to seek out the progression of our work, and continue to teach.

[@thehellerapproach]

[@Ly2744]

Your video lessons are excellent, filled with real usable information and quality. Don"s alternative method, brought to life! These free lessons are great tools as you read Don Richardson's book " Acting without agony". My personal vision for myself when I retire is to be in an old guy band and work on my crafts and when I need some acting advice, they are there, especially if you were to get a role.They can help you with it..." I plan on practicing my craft and when I get a role, I am going to ask them for help and invest in private lessons. I feel confident with Brad and the coaches at; " The Brad Heller approach"

[@kunalrana8527]

Great practical information! As the owner of a Sag/Aftra licensed model and talent agency- this is wonderfully useful information. Use it!!

[@averyjonson1303]

Its hard to explain why i want to be an actress but everytime i do it Im just so happy like i cant even explain it , and its one of the happiest Ive been in my life besides i just love it . Thanks for the video it really helped

[@AlexWilliamsElizabeth]

Im 13 years old, turning 14. I really want to do acting as a career. It looks so interesting and amazing to do. I find it fun to become another person and become completely engrossed in a characters personality. But I live in a place where no auditions are held. I don't have enough money for classes, or for travel for auditions.

[@Cptn_Plucky]

+Alex Eli will smith was born in a reguar family with the same situation, he didn't have the money to become an actor/ travel to another place and yet he made it. so my advice would be, keep going. u'll make it

[@AlexWilliamsElizabeth]

+cedric vercammen I didn't know that about him! Thank you it really boosted me.

[@thehellerapproach]

+Alex Eli , Thank you for your support to our channel! There are many aspiring actors who are in your same situation. We encourage you to keep going as well. If there is a way for your to save money toward future acting classes that may be a good idea. In the mean time if there are any particular movies that you like, characters, or scenes of interest... you can always transcribe the scene. This is a good way to practice. Once you have your scene, start memorizing, and apply the technique that Brad Heller teaches in his videos. Or you could practice with a monologue. Also, there is a book that Brad recommends to his students called 'Acting Without Agony'( www.amazon.com/Acting-Without-Agony-Alternative-Method/dp/0205151655/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453248155&sr=8-1&keywords=acting+without+agony ) maybe you could purchase this at some point and read it as well. We wish you the very best and you are always welcome to take classes with us/ join the school when you are ready. Stay tuned for more acting video's! Remember to have fun, stay encouraged, and inspired!

Dear Petra, I am happy to hear you enjoy my acting videos! I have taught lessons to many students in and out of the United States through Skype webcam. If you ever decide that you want to pursue the craft, it would be nice to work with you. In the meantime, stay tuned for more videos!

[@BretCoreysFilms]

This is some of your best advice Brad.... This is exactly what I've been saying. I trust the work I've done. It also talks about emotion and it covers the power in a performance of saying nothing playing off of others. I have been saying this for years. You went over it all very well.

[@edenw695]

I'm now 26 years old and I've always felt that it was too late for me, but that's not the case. You're right, I want to become better at acting that's my goal. I'm a painter as well so that example really spoke to me. I don't sell many paintings and yes I've gotten discouraged from it at times...but seeing myself improve through perseverance and dedication I became better, even surprised myself with my most recent work. This was inspiring, and I'll continue to become greater.

Such a great analogy to tennis. This fellow is an excellent teacher. Simplifies things so you understand.

[@FarisOfficial_]

I'm in a country where there's no Auditioning or any support from anybody. And its really bothering me the idea of me going to collage (next year) and doing stuff that I don't like nor love. I want to do something that makes me happy and something that I love and its ACTING. I grown up watching movies and performances that blew me away and had my attention and I've always wanted to be part of it and achieve something like that. To me its really not about the fame or the money, its about what I want to see myself in. I wanna be a great artist as you said. But I feel its impossible thing because of where I live. Its extremely painful to me and its killing me everyday just thinking about it. I'm looking for a miracle to save me from this. I really hope that you could help me. Thank you so much for your lessons. I appreciate it.

[@thehellerapproach]

+Faris 07games , Thank you for your support to the channel! It sounds like you need to start taking acting lessons, and training. Brad Heller does have online acting lessons via Skype webcam. This has been very effective for many of his students around the world. We suggest that you set up a lesson, get to know Brad, and see if it's a good fit for you.

You can find more information on our website www.thehellerapproach.com and we can get you set up right away! Looking forward to hearing for you.

+thehellerapproach sorry for not responding. I was busy with school and finals. yeah sure can I have his account on Skype? And about the lessons are they for free or I'll have to pay? Thank you so much for your support

[@menim14]

Thank you so much for such great information. Since childhood I want to be artist but my circumstances never allowed me. I have given a promise my self now no one can stop me from complete my dream for become a great artist. Thank you again

[@jennifermorris3797]

I appreciate your words of advice. When I was young I studied some acting, but was no good at promoting myself and never really worked. They always used to say, there are too many young actors, when you get older you will get work. So, I am really only dreaming about it but I always enjoyed watching serious actors talk about their craft. Even if I could do community theatre I would be happy with that.

[@thehellerapproach]

Thank you for your kind words and support to the channel! We are happy you found us. It would be great to get you set up with some acting lessons. It sounds like something you really enjoy, and we encourage you to keep pursuing it. If you would like to set up lessons, or have any questions please let us know. Also, check out our website www.thehellerapproach.com Stay tuned for more acting lessons!

[@thehellerapproach]

Joshua, the emotions and thoughts you have as a person are universally accessible by every other actor and human being alive....becoming familiar and accustomed how we people use thoughts and emotions...helps us become better actors. Behind every character, role or part there are real emotions and thoughts...

[@chrisGTHO]

I only just realised i wanted to be an actor/story teller 5 days ago.I came to this conculition because i have been trying to be someone im not for so long, that i even became a deisel mechanic because that wat you do as a male in a cole minning town, then CLICK i found ME again after 20years. The way your describeing acting is perfect to me i dont understand how it could be done any other way (convincingly). cant wait to give myself to this. CHEERS MATE.

[@RealDrivernileproductions]

Thanks man! Really helpful! Love the tennis reference! :)

[@thehellerapproach]

Real D Glad to hear that my lessons have been so helpful! Thank you for your kind words, and stay tuned for more videos!

[@hilalsahin9618]

Edit: WOW THIS WAS PUBLISHED IN 2012 ?? I AM SHOOKED I want to be an actor because when I was younger I used to love watching movies. What I particularly loved about them was how they could take you places, how they could make you feel emotions, and how involved I would get in the story I was watching. Since then I just loved storytelling and creating different universes and taking people places with stories and becoming someone else totally different from me and still being able to find similarities in what made the characters I played so true. Giving life to a character. I hope this makes sense. Btw: I’m a cheese ball if you couldn’t tell

[@prithvidhakan9308]

Good day to you sir, this happened to me one fine day somewhere around last year that I felt optimistic about acting. Even while I type this in, There's this overly amazing happiness that you know what I really want to become an actor. I've had hardhips about not fulfilling my acting classes cos my family was and is against it so I had to leave an come back home. But this sudden rush hit my head since 2 months ago, The acting soul came back in me and I said to myself that if not the training then you'd rather taken up lessons by yourself by watching People like you where I'd personally get positive knowledge about acting. I just want to say thank you and for creating an amazing vibe to the teaching and learning. :)

[@laraespinozacounseling]

This helped. I am having to perform a monologue and read a poem in a few weeks for my theater class. We are actually starting rehearsals this week and it is tough stuff. Acting is for the most part is EMOTION EMOTION EMOTION

[@thehellerapproach]

Lara Jackson Acting is 80% emotion and 20% all the rest.

[@AliPittaway]

Wow, you're a great teacher! I've learnt so much watching your videos. I loved your question: "why do you want to be an actor?" I've been famous (30 years ago) and I didn't like it but being an artist - whether acting, writing, creating - feels like part of my DNA. Thanks for the encouragement to get back to it.........but with a different rationale.

[@RANDOMLOOPGENERATOR]

Just starting to get more and more work after pushing into acting more seriously late last year, just wanted to say I'm glad I've found your videos at this stage in my career. Having just watched the one on technique regarding objective and emotion I can already tell I'm going to improve my chances at gaining more roles and experience. Thanks so much for your great approach!

[@thehellerapproach]

You can find more information on our website www.thehellerapproach.com cheers!

[@queuesnake704]

Why do I want to be an actor? To blow minds. In the same way that my mind was blown when I was young. To where you're never the same again and wish to pass on that same sense of vivid hyper real experience to the world, so that people who experience it carry those memories into old age.

[@megan-ys1mp]

I want to be an actor, because I really want to be a believable character, and paint the picture in the audiences' mind. Recently I saw a play of Sherlock Holmes, and it really spoke to me. I don't even know why, but it suddenly sparked an interest of acting in my head. I wanted to be apart of things that could fill my own mind with wonder and happiness. I wanted to get others caught in the story I am showing them.

[@thehellerapproach]

BowDown ToVulpix Aptitude for acting is the ability to imagine things and let them happen in your feelings. Give audience time for important pauses, to let their imagination work, so they can relate to their own experiences.

[@pavellymoure]

WOW!!! that was very informational!! I loved the the delivery of your lesson!!

[@TheZackarios]

Just been looking around for some acting tips, and this was absolutely amazing. So thank you for this! Although a bit late (I'm 21), I just recently realized that I want to be an actor, although deep down I've always been attracted to it. Thanks for asking the question "why do you want to be an actor". That put me on the spot, and it's definitely not for fame, I'm not bothered about that. I just want to be a great actor. I want to do film not theatre. I find it much more appealing. Anyway this video was amazing, you seem like an awesome teacher.

[@Colinsz1]

I'm 22 and in your same boat. My first advice would be start reading and researching, there's a lot of secondary stuff you need to know before you worry about actual work. You're doing the right thing by watching this video though. Check out some of my Acting Monologues if you have the time!

[@chioma3364]

We do encourage you to watch the videos on emotions and objectives, it may help you with your creativity in mime. We wish you the best!

[@edwardgarcia8167]

Can I add this to my resume? As expirence? Or not because I learned a lot of interesting stuff

[@KaigeKash1]

+Edward Garcia I add everything to my resume. I think any experience that you learn something new,, is helpful in this business.

[@ezteliita]

I think about acting as a great art, for me, actors take me away and show me a different world, they show their soul even though they're "pretending" to be someone they're not, but they are making magic, they are really fucking making art, and I love it, people who makes me cry with a face, with a blink, with a sigh, with a hug, that's artistic and BEAUTIFUL, never die actors, you make of this world, a better world.

[@ckoronios]

The Heller Approach! Wooooow!! Another great, unique, original, genuine, acting technique!!

[@jaymattison9903]

I really dont like this hair but this advice is really valuable to me lol great video

[@stevemcclendon1068]

I like your metaphor about acting is like tennis. Your tips are very helpful and useful. I'm currently doing acting classes and I will constantly look at your videos to give me tips and help me prepare and do beneficial research. I also want to thank KZbin.

I'm about to subscribe at 3 casting-agencies in my country ( i hope i am saying this correctly haha ) 24 now but been in amateur theater for over 7 years. So many people say i can go bigger then what i am doing but i just don't know where to start.. I hope these agencies can help me out or something. My heart is pounding so hard for a few days now i am scared it will explode haha. That is how much i want to act!

I love so much your question: "Why do you want to be an actor? is it because you want to be famous? Or is it because you want to be an artist?" great questions...Thank you again Brad...

[@kevinbarbaro8007]

Looking forward to taking your classes when I'm in LA full time !

[@RyansLegend16]

Thank you for the advice, it really has made me think about this possible career. I have been inspired by Jennifer Lawrence, and I think this video proves why she is one of the best. She is so real and honest, and it makes me question whether or not I could be the same way. I had always planned to be a pharmacist, but here lately, I have wondered whether or not I should give acting a shot...

[@GoViralMedia]

You gave me some great confidence-boosting tips for my audition tomorrow. Feel much better about it than before I watched a few of your videos. Thanks

[@aniketsingh6109]

thank you for clearing my confusion .now i figured out what exactly acting is

[@joshuawalker4846]

I want to be a actor because I enjoy creating art through which every Character I am playing, and having a chance to put myself a little bit in the Character also. Its very fun for me to play someone else, and put smiles on people faces

[@modb7869]

I want to be an actor so soon I am going to take classes , im a super beginner but I love movies so much they inspire me !!! I walk around the house all the time talking to myself all the time jus practicing acting skills , (I hope im not crazy for that lol) but I can't help it !!! This was great advice as well

[@liwebguy]

Stumbled across your videos and watched 2 of them so far. Going to take your advise and order Acting without Agony. Was surprised that the book sells for approx. $125.00. Based on your recommendation, I am certain it's worth every cent. Thank you for the time you invested in making these videos.

[@thehellerapproach]

+liwebguy , Thank you for your kind words and support to the channel! We are very happy to know you are purchasing the book. It would be great to get you set up with acting lessons. Are you local to the North Hollywood studio, or would you like more information regarding Skype lessons?

[@liwebguy]

Bought the book, found one used on Amazon for $53... Will have in hand tomorrow. Planning on reading and practicing what is defined in the book. I will touch base afterwards to see where I'm looking to take this. Would love to work with you in person but not possible at this time. I reside on LI., 30 min. east of NYC. The remote sessions would be a viable option. I'll let you know where I am at after the book. Thanks again. Paulie D.

[@thehellerapproach]

I know the feeling! Many actors who discover the technique say the exact same thing..I felt the same way. All the best, Jeronnie!

[@workingtaxpayer2659]

"With traffic, btw..." LOL Too true!

Simply beautiful teaching. I enjoy your videos greatly. In my area it is hard to find a good reputable school to train at the art. Your videos/ lesson help me direct my art to embrace change and development. My passion for acting as long been grown within me since childhood. As an adult, the pressure of not going after my passion has erupted into an intoxicated deprivation of love. I now set aside two hours a day to practice. While attending school. I have also done a few auditions and got call backs for roles. The only success I truly feel is when I am better at the approach. Just like in sports. Great lesson

[@ricardo_gfo5174]

Beautiful words, made me think more about how to get ready for acting/ casting! Hope you got more of these great videos

alberto vazquez wonderful...keep it upbrad

[@stevemcclendon1068]

I totally agree that acting is more like receiving lines from another actor and playing off their emotions and lines in the script or "reacting"!

[@aniketsingh6109]

your videos are very useful ..specially i love that last part of this video in which u asked why u wanna become actor .and you were absolutely right that there should only honesty and truth in our acting and nothing else .if we are acting for fame and all then it would be corrupt acting

Well, the reason I want to become and actor is basicly to do what I love the most, because i'm incredibly passionated about it since I did my first play, I'd say i'm shy to a degree but when it comes to stage that shyness motivates me, it drives me further into the experience, and I feel like I get some sort of a hypnosis as I do it, i'd call it "staying-in-the-moment-hypnoze" not sure where it comes from, but it's like a drug to me, I love it so deaply, that I put my heart and soul into it.

The reason i want to become an actor is that acting for my oppinion isnt just and art but a way of life.Becoming an actor is like changing your way of live,constantly learning and living hundreds of others lives that your characters have.When you doing a movie you are not yourself you just magically changing body and living the life of someone's else and that's amazing, something that only actors can do and feel...Acting isn't just an art it's a way o life and living :)

I want to be an actor because it’s what I love. I’ve done a couple plays with my school, but recently I realized how much it really means to me. I actually feel empty without acting, physically. Being famous would honestly be a little scary, and that’s not my motivation. I just want to do what I love.

[@KelseaHenderson]

Thank you so much for the inspiration! Very helpful!

[@TiannaLynn95]

This could be a very useful video for some people! I just wish someone would make an acting lesson video for those that already know the basics. :)

[@rmourra100]

[@ismailhossain-pd6fc]

all about work ? you are a good teacher. thanks.

[@JAKE281083]

Thankyou for this, very inciteful. Learnt some things I've never thought about.

[@jonathanelkin5069]

I have always dreamed of acting but being born poor did not think it could be my reality. I never really thought of why though. Why do I want to be an actor? Fame? Hardly, I was "famous" in high school but found later in life that most of those relationships lasted only as long as I was connected to their path of life. They may say now passing on the street but they are living their lives working, supporting their families, etc. But you asked that question and it made me realize, I love to entertain which is great for acting. But you made me go deeper than that. I have always had a thing about "walking a mile in someone else's shoes." I yearn to understand why people behave they do? Why they feel how they feel? And when I watch movies I see the devotion in some actors like Heath Ledger and Edward Norton. I see how deep they delve into their roles and it inspires me. That's what I want to do in life but I never actually made that conscience thought, I felt it but never connected the dots. That's what your question did, it brought to life why I was even watching your video. I know it's going to be hard getting into acting when I have a full-time job installing solar panels on roofs to support my life partner and child but there has always been a reason holding me back from this dream. I've always had to be the guy digging ditches, installing firesprinkling systems, mixing cement, laying brick, framing walls or some other back breaking work. And I outworked nearly everyone I worked with because of my commitment to my work. But watching this video has shown me I have committed to the wrong jobs. Acting is an artistry, and I love the feeling you get when an actor has done his or her job in breaking free our (the viewers) emotion. For 90 mins or so that viewer escapes the realities of their lives and get to feel with the actor as he or she makes their journey through the story. And I want to be apart of that. Thank you for making this free video. I don't know when but thanks to you I am beginning to learn how I can make my lifelong dream a reality. THANK YOU

[@destinyjasmin11]

Oh god your like the best acting coach no lie......

[@abjkantikz2470]

Because I want to do something that I'm interested in, something that amazes people, something that shocks and awes the audience into remembering what they saw days later, something that allows people to fantasize about what they just saw. That is why I would want to be an actor.

[@thehellerapproach]

ABJK Antikz What is beautiful about acting is the audiences imagine more in their head than you can ever act out. Audience will do it for you, their imagination is great.

[@marcusanderson2978]

Thank you very much for this video, I appreciate it!

[@alexuscohen3822]

Well I would like to become an actress because its easier for me to express how I am feeling as someone else . Its truly amazing to be able to be perceived as a different person. Acting is kind of therapeutic for me because I don't really release emotion unless I am on set . I want to become the type of actress that pulls hidden emotions out of the audience .

[@SeansoloUtube]

I love what he says at 5:40 .."I'm just gonna hit the ball and hang out" ...Hilarious and so true with so many actors..including myself! hahaha
