The power of being present is something I learned most about in CI and something I try to invoke in every job I do.

It was in Josh’s class that I first experienced what it was like to be completely unselfconscious. Almost a version of enlightenment. And I didn’t have to go to a monastery to find it – just to Committed Impulse. When I stepped on stage, Josh created a safe environment where I could fully trust myself and allow all of my instincts to flourish and to be fully realized. He is like a conductor: fully aware of all the instruments, the strings, the bows; and he guides you along and helps allow you to play every note. The power of being present is something I learned most about in CI and something I try to invoke in every job I do.

Why Character Lab?

Casting directors are often frustrated because they see tape after tape of actors trying to appear naturalistic. In reality, casting directors want to see actors making honest, strong, committed choices.

This weekend is going to give you a new set of tools so that YOU can be empowered to make those strong, committed, nuanced choices. Choices that are engaging to behold because they reveal your truth - and fulfill the obligations of the script.

Side note: Character Lab has launched MANY actors into the next levels of their careers because it has given them the tools to fully inhabit a character.

Second side note: This course is open to non-actors as well.

 

What is the Character Lab Weekend Intensive?

The weekend will be a deep dive into radically expanding your artistic threshold, unearthing parts of yourself that are ready to create, and tapping into your unique virtuosity.

This full immersion into creating a character will delve into the Inner Atomics in a way that is not offered in other classes.

The Inner Atomics are tools created by founder Josh Pais,
and are only taught in Committed Impulse. 

Inner Atomics encompass the cornerstones of all human behavior. These tools can be applied to any text in any medium. They will free you, open you, expand you. Paradoxically, these tools will make your work effortless and at the same time challenge you. 

It is within this challenge that your best work is going to emerge.

Next, you’re going to rummage through the imagery that lives below your surface as you employ the potent tools of Subpersonalities. The Subpersonality work allows you access to parts of yourself that often lay dormant. These dormant parts are burgeoning with creative force. They are ready to come to light and take your work to the next level.

The result of this mix of delving into the Inner Atomics combined with the Subpersonality work is going to train you to create free from your judgmental thoughts - and allow your true essence to take over. That is what your audience craves.

There is a creative force in you that is astounding.
The artist in you is ready to bravely stand and belong.

Now is your time to energetically command the space
and create with spontaneity, boldness, and playfulness.

REBOOT YOUR PASSION TO CREATE

No previous Committed Impulse experience is needed for this course. And… to get the most out of Character Lab, we encourage you to first take the Master Class Weekend Intensive.

It’s a beautiful thing to be surrounded by other professionals.

- ELIAS

The Character Lab is designed for actors.
HOWEVER - the tools Josh teaches in this course are going to profoundly support anyone who puts themselves out into the world.

Public speakers, entrepreneurs, YOU - be ready to uncover your unstoppable-mighty-superhero, and much more.
Not to be missed.

P.S. If you’re wondering whether or not it’s worth the investment, please take a look at our Success Stories. These are real people just like you who are steadily booking.

And if you’re still doubtful, ask yourself:

What if just one Committed Impulse tool
helped you book work more consistently?

How much is that worth to you?
$5,000? $10,000? $100K or more over the course of a few jobs?

What if one Committed Impulse insight allowed you to eliminate the self-doubt and second-guessing that kills your performances and career satisfaction?

Honestly, that kind of confidence is priceless.

If you’re truly committed to your career and being a master in your craft, this weekend intensive is for you.

Josh attentively and meticulously holds space for you whilst he shares his process for acting and mentors you through it.  His class helped me fully catalyze my talent and magic. Coming through more than ten years of self-study, training, and film acting... I finally feel brave enough to hold my soul shape as I'm acting. Thanks SO much Josh!
