"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 Heller Approach has become trusted by thousands of students globally. - Zábava
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!
Adam Macias he goes much than the ordinary

WOW YOURE AMAZING! I wish we had teachers like you in the UK
My soal met left me.Now that makes a man bring out emotion beyond belief.I cried more in 1 year than in all my life combined.But now im a new man for the better.
Only in acting school did I remember that had a dog.
Wow, this seems so much healthier than than going through a rollercoaster of personal trauma
It also helps to be naturally anxious lol
Kayla Williams Avery same 😂😂
I have social anxiety. For anxiety, i can just imagine going out to a club or a bar which I avoid and I'm already in an anxious state.
I Laban movements.
Kayla Williams Avery like Greg in Succession
excellent comment mate!!!!
Robert downey jr teaches acting now????
LOL! :)
I've known he was a cool guy in real life too!
Looks like he hasnt slept for days
SD he actually reminds me of Tony Stark, not Robert 😂😂
I’m not the only one who thought of this? Cool
Brad, write a book.
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!
nice bro i now also do it really
I've been watching Joseph Morgan (Klaus Mikaelson), in 'The Originals'. He's amazing in his highly emotional scenes. He's charming and real.
Shirlene Hatton he really is
The emotion he puts into the character is so intense and works so well
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
So glad this helped you! Be sure to subscribe to get alerted when new videos are posted!
For me the breathing exercise is more effective if I close my eyes. I’ve done this before.
Stranger Eggos thank you!! that helped. (PS, I love Stranger Things!!)
Danielle Ahearn 😊 💜
Can you please do a video about crying on cue? It’s the major problem I have while acting.
Stranger Things Fandom edits Hey, Iv cryed many times while acting, and tbh, its really easy imo. Crying is a physical thing. So don't do the stupid imagine your dog dying or something like that. All you have to do is keep your eyes open. I hope that works for you. It works really well for me.
I can cry on cue
Omg yes plssss do a video on this!! @strangereggos you’re not alone hun, I also have problems w crying on cue. Exercises that tell me to keep my eyes open don’t work, and neither do emotional recall exercises. I need help!!!
Brad will be doing a video about this soon! -The Heller Approach staff
Crying is supposed to b the easiest emotion to evoke tho
Bob Ross came back from the dead in RDJ's body, to give us acting lessons.
Genius idea about the word and breathing technique. This actually increases my self confidence during a scene.
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
So glad this helped you!!!
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!
Yea me too I can't really relate to most situations
I JUST HYPERVENTILATED AT MY DESK! WOW THIS IS GREAT!
Thank you so much Brad.
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
Agreed! :)
Man! you are giving free diamonds in the hand of new actors, such precious advices! i really appreciate your job, thank you so much!
Of course! If you found this video helpful, please feel free to share with anyone you know!
Absolutely golden information to me! Goosebumps! Gonna use this in my preparation.
I've learnt so much and the emotion that I've felt just listening and practicing alongside you was intense ...best tutorial ever ❣️
So glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to subscribe for new videos posted weekly :)
I had naturally been doing this technique & feeling I was supposed to be doing another approach. Thanks so much for reinforcing what I instinctly knew. Now I have a name for it!
So glad this helped you! Be sure to subscribe for other helpful videos!
Thanks to you I evoke emotion in not more than a second !! Thank you so Much!!!
Great set of videos! As a poet and singer/musician, I find it’s really good to study acting.😊
I’m literally crying, THANK YOU SM IT HELPED ME SO MUCH!!!!
Thank you for the nice comment, Mini! We are glad to hear that you enjoy Brad's lessons.
I love you, Brad Heller!!!! Best acting coach on the planet. I used to train with you in the late 90s. I’ll never forget you!

Wow, this is fantastic! Thank you so much sir! Oh, btw, I'm not sure if anyone has ever mentioned this to you but you have similar mannerisms and facial quirks that Robert Downey Jr. has when he speaks and displays emotion and expression facially. You truly do sir. I've been examining his acting methods, and I think that one of his most prominent acting characteristics is his non-verbal facial communication when he speaks or displays emotion.
Yes!
Who else envoked their own panic attack ?
It definitely works!
Hello Brad Sir. I hope you are good. I just wanted to request that we need more of your wisdom. Kindly make more videos like these. These have been really magical.
I was waiting for it for a very long time. I also had requested you to upload video about breathing exercise. You keep your promise. Thanks a lot Brad sir!☺️
Glad to have been able to do it. Hope it helps!
I find it much easier to exude happiness and anger than the more vulnerable emotions... Sadness, anxiety, jealousy.
This was a good tip.
he’s more tony stark than robert downey jr lol
this was beyond helpful!!! i really loved it. Yes I will keep acting!

How can I make my acting be more than just words? I mean, how do I add more depth and make it realistic without it going overboard and getting almost too much. I always try to live and be the character instead of pretending to be the character, but I find when I do that it often becomes fake and maybe too dramatic
Ps thank you! Your videos have helped so much, I'm not from LA (I'm from the uk) and can't afford a lesson but your CZcams videos are a real big help and I learn a lot from them so thank you :)
Olivia Grace Whereabout in UK? I am living there too, we can meet up and practice together
same question with me !!!
Thank you for your kind words and support to the channel!

Amazing, most effective Technique i even seen! Hats off!
Pure pure pure genius. Ive never heard of him before but what a talent what a teacher. The other day I was with my acting coach and i told her that i wish we could manipulate our body to make the emotion and less about finding the emotion from our past events
This method is more enjoyable than reliving our own past trauma! Would you be interested in taking class where we put this technique in action? We offer zoom classes so it doesn't matter where you are located in the world! If interested, please email TheHellerApproach@gmail.com for more info!
Wow! This helped me so much thank you!!🤗
thank you so much i feel a lot better about my audition tomorrow!
Great! We hope it went well!

This is awesome! I got the idea immediately, and bought the book. What a great way to approach acting! :)
Thank you! Glad it has been helpful!
Amazing, I love this art
Thank you for sharing these techniques. Alot of people wouldn't be so giving but it seems to Me you share out of empathy for people who have experienced trauma
Of course! Acting should be fun and actors shouldn't have to replay their worst memories to do it!
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you thank you !!
He kinda sounds like Bob Ross
Also rlly close to robert downey
This is AMAZING! What i couldnt understand through others, i was able to understand it with YOU! This is so so helpful and so healthy! I will indeed check the acting classes information ♥️
Fantastic! We would love to have you in our online zoom classes. Check out our website for more info:

Thank you for this awesome video. Great tips!!
CZcams recommended your video.
I've always has a passion for all things film and theatre. I find myself watching the actor, their movements the way they are delivering the lines.
Although I have been a member of amateur dramatic groups, I didn't take the learning further.
At 51 I'm happy to say I'm off to uni next year to study drama. The biggest reason for this is because I know I'll regret it if I don't.
That's so fantastic to hear... congratulations! If you're ever looking to add online classes to your training, check us out here:

This makes so much sense. I remember learning about something like this in highschool biology, little did I know I'd have to use it in acting 😂😂 you're amazing🔥🔥
Glad this resonated with you! :)
What happens if the director asks you to do it sad or some other emotion? Won’t that take time like you described?
YOU ARE AWESOME!
Thank U Tony.
Also, Thanks for sacrificing yourself for us.
LOL!

I think it's important to feel the emotion, but I think putting yourself into the idea of the character and the scene is enough to invoke emotion. When you can't separate yourself from the character in the situation then you can feel the emotion of the character and understanding that characters feeling the motivate of that emotion makes it more real. Some times feeling out of breath is going to make your emotions right at the surface because you are desperate for breath to either unleash the emotion to breath or to catch your breath to calm the emotion. That is my personal approach. While some times taking speeding your breath up ramps your emotions it is that big pause that truly builds it because it's the one second to really feel it and then deliver the lines in that emotion.
This, really helps!
If you look close enough, He's acting right there.
Best technique!!!
insane how effective this is!!
So glad this worked for you!
Superb video, probably the best singular, concise acting lesson I've seen.

Lol. Cool
Thank you so much for making this! That is absolutely amazing technique to share. I'm going to remember this forever!
That question you answered at the end is golden, too. From a person who is interested in playing a villain type character on one of my CZcams channels, this gives me a new perspective to consider!

So glad you found this helpful. Check out our channel for more insightful videos :)
1:31 micro expressions vocal intonation and body language these have all been define by scientists such as Paul eckman and John gottman I would recommend you read thier books on emotions. You pretend that this is a science yet you speak in general statements this is all been defined by science and would recommend that you define your recommendations in such a frame of communication to your students. I hope this information helps you and your students :-)
amazingggggggggggggggggggggggggg, i love you man
