Why Acting Is Like Being an Athlete

LogoFounded in 1994 by Brad Heller, The Heller Approach Acting Studios believes there are multiple ways to approach acting. Some methods torment the individual while others uplift and challenge them. Based on The Non Method Acting Technique which comes from the lessons of the late Don Richardson (Emmy winning director who directed over 800 television shows and mentored such icons as Grace Kelly and Spencer Tracy), the Los Angeles based Heller studio takes the route that – while grueling in its own right – is anything but torturous. Along with plenty of hard work, it is something that can – to the contrary – be enjoyable and exciting. Training should equip actors with the ability to perform on queue and not depend on the uncertain and unstable foundation Method Acting calls for. Being an actor doesn't just mean being able to pull off an incredible scene once in a while – it means consistently and competently being able to execute superb deliveries. After all, in the real world, casting directors aren't going to wait around for you to tap into a childhood memory or care if you can give a jaw-dropping dialogue – they need to see a resilient, highly-skilled confident professional who can be depended on to perform at their craft at all times under any given circumstances.
