A voice can change the direction of a room. Orrick Quick built this academy to help more people find theirs.
He knows what it takes to hold a room.
Orrick Quick is the 2024 Great American Speak Off Season 2 Champion, a former NC State football player and a television personality featured on FOX’s The Preachers.
But his work with speakers begins somewhere quieter than a spotlight: with the experiences they have lived and the reason they need to share them.

Orrick brings the discipline of preparing a message—and the experience of delivering it when the room is listening—to every coaching conversation.
Make them feel every word.
What Orrick listens for
Not a borrowed speaker’s voice. The conviction, experience and point of view that are already yours.
What happened
Find the personal experience at the heart of your message, then give it a beginning, a turn and a reason for your audience to care.
What it means
Develop an original power statement and shape a signature speech around the idea you want people to remember after you leave the stage.
What moves them
Work on presence, pacing, audience engagement and emotional connection so the words sound like you—and invite people to act.
Speaking is more than being heard.
Orrick founded the academy for aspiring motivational speakers, entrepreneurs, coaches, business professionals and leaders who have something meaningful to say. His approach helps them turn lived experience into a compelling speech, rather than simply memorizing polished lines.
In the six-week Power Statement Masterclass and eight-week Signature Speaker Experience, the work moves from discovering the message to writing it, practicing it and delivering it with confidence.
