George Quick, San Francisco-based Performance Coach, Launches Website
San Francisco, California, September 1, 2006 ? a San Francisco-based performance coach who coaches actors, singers, executives, etc., has launched his website at www.performancecoachsf.com. George Quick, a San Francisco theatre director and actor, who most recently directed Jay Kuo?s new hit musical Insignificant Others, at San Francisco?s New Conservatory Theatre Center, has been performing and directing in San Francisco since 1979. Earlier this season he appeared in the role of Kenny in the west coast premiere of Richard Kramer?s Theatre District also at The New Conservatory Theatre Center. Besides coaching singers on the technical aspects of vocal production and acting a song, Mr. Quick works with actors who want to improve their casting possibilities, executives who need to make a speech and even realtors working on improving their sales techniques.
George Quick has been a professional actor since 1975. During the late 1970s, he studied at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in New York. George began his directing career in 1992. Over the past twenty years, he has coached singers, actors, dancers, clergy, executives, lawyers and sales professionals, using performance, presentation and vocal techniques, together with tools for creating more satisfying interactions, whether in a large auditorium, a conference room, a cabaret, a recording studio, a sanctuary or one on one. Mr. Quick?s students at the high school level have consistently garnered top honors at local, regional and national speech competitions.
George began working as an actor and a musician during the 1970s at Knott?s Berry Farm?s Birdcage Theatre. Quick says, ?at that time, we did six shows a day and before each show we would ?pitch? the show around the park to get people to come to each performance. Very old fashioned street corner barking in teams of two. This one task, repeated half a dozen times each day, taught me self-confidence (and unrepentant salesmanship). We had fun getting people to come see the show while we gave them an idea of how fun the show itself was going to be. We also had to learn to use our voices properly, since in addition to hollering on the street corner, we performed the show six times per day!?
After studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, George Quick came back to California where he appeared in numerous plays and musicals in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1979 to 1983 -- such award winning original productions as Marco Polo and Berlin 1932; while working as a cabaret singer in San Francisco and Los Angeles. As an actor, George appeared in many productions throughout Southern California from 1983 to 1996. In 1993, he became the founding executive director of The Musical Theatre Company in Orange County, California where he produced, directed and performed in many musical productions including of Man Of La Mancha and Sunday In The Park With George (garnered him a Drama-Logue Award for best performance in a musical). Meanwhile, he continued his private coaching while directing critically acclaimed productions of The Music Man, Sweeney Todd and A Little Night Music, among others. In 1997, George returned to San Francisco, continuing his acting and directing career. In addition to such productions as the west coast premieres of The Harvey Milk Show (he played Harvey), A Man Of No Importance (director) and A New Brain (director), he has directed or acted in Chess, Passion, and Key West at The New Conservatory Theatre Center, where he served as Managing Director from 2000 to 2004. In 2004, he filled in as the Business Representative for the San Francisco office of Actors? Equity Association for about one year. George is currently directing the upcoming workshop production of Jay Kuo?s newest musical Homeland for a very limited engagement in December here in San Francisco.
?Within the past several years it has dawned on me that performing - acting and singing - hold even more significance for life than I previously thought,? says Quick. ?While I?ve always realized the value of teaching acting and speech techniques to executives and sales professionals, etc., as well as to actors and singers; there is something more to it than that ? these skills of story telling, letting go of the result and living in the moment are essential skills for living a fully realized life! I?ve started this business to discover where those ideas can take my clients and me in the months and years to come. I think we can make a big difference in the world.?
Mr. Quick accepts students of all kinds and has prices to fit all budgets, including special rates for sessions purchased in advance and full-time student discounts.
