The Heller Approach

The Heller Approach is a Los Angeles-based acting school that addresses the obstacles many actors find in achieving believability and authenticity in acting out a role. The Heller Approach offers a successful guide to actors wanting to convey meaningful performances without summoning past painful experiences advocated by the Method approach. The application for the Heller Approach is based on muscle memory, rather than the Method approach of dwelling on past experiences in order to evoke emotion. This truly frees the artist to access all feelings and emotions that are universal to humans regardless of past experiences. The Heller Approach addresses anxiety, a common obstacle with actors. The problem of nervousness, worry, and unease is a constant issue many actors face, but rarely find the tools to remedy their fears. The Heller Approach teaches actors how to cope with high-pressure situations and embrace their own fear.
