Communication is a physical art. It’s actually closer to playing a sport than anything else. If you want to make a change in your spoken communication, it must be done via a physical pathway. Are you ready to take the next step to improve your spoken communication?

In the fall of 2010, several alumni of the NYU Graduate Acting Program met in New York. After graduating from one of the foremost artistic training programs in the country, we found ourselves working in the arts, and yet struggling with debt and student loans. We were beginning to realize that we might not be able to afford to be artists, simply because we had gone to school to be artists. Attempting to leave shame and panic aside, we started the Artists Financial Support Group (AFSG). We began to write a book about student loans, and carefully prepared a workshop for the next NYU graduating class. Our goal was to share with those students everything we wished someone had told us when we finished graduate school. We did just that in May of 2011 when we gave our first workshop at NYU. The AFSG led workshops at NYU Grad Acting, NYU Grad Design for Stage and Film, Yale School of Drama, Juilliard, The Entertainment Community Fund, The SAG Foundation, CSU Long Beach, and Christopher Newport University - among many others.The Artists Financial Support Group sought to: Educate student and professional artists on financial self-advocacy, Advocate legislative and institutional change in the cost of artist education, and Innovate new ways to manage student loan debt and to budget on an erratic income.
