Committed Impulse is an acting training derived from a personal process that has become widely adopted across professions. The training focuses on escaping overthinking and accessing embodied, spontaneous presence through practical exercises. A four-step system activates peak presence, reframes nervousness as a performance advantage, and emphasizes breath-based practices described as "breathing to feel." The approach offers tools for actors and non-actors to step beyond mind-centered limits and cultivate greater aliveness, improvisational responsiveness, and sustained creative confidence in high-pressure situations.
