Course Description
The Voicemaster Course gives you the rules for speaking more persuasively, which in turn gives you confidence and allows your natural personality to shine. The result? Your listeners will have more confidence in you and what you say.
There is no doubt that learning how to speak professionally will make a significant difference to your success, whatever your job.
A piano can be played by instinct, but if you want to be a concert pianist, you will need to learn a technique. In a similar way, your voice is an instrument, so by learning a technique, you will be more confident and persuasive when communicating your ideas. The Hudson Voice Technique is a systematic process that teaches you how to use your voice as a precision tool and enhances memory retention.
Created by the late Steve Hudson, the Voicemaster Course is a powerful structured technique that has a permanent affect, so there is no doubt that it is one of the most important tools you can learn.
We are dedicated to your growth, offering personalised coaching, engaging group sessions, and flexible courses. Letʼs unlock your voice together!
The course is on video and a study guide is provided for you to print.
The course will take about 2 weeks total (20 minutes a day), depending on your input.
Before you start the course, we ask you to record your 'Before' recordings and keep them to one side. This is to establish your starting point.
You then go through each lesson, guided by Steve. Practice until you're confident and then move on to the next one.
As you go through the course, you need to record yourself so you can listen back and correct anything that's not quite right.
Once you practised all lessons, you need to record the same scripts you recorded before you started the course. These are your 'After' recordings.
Now you will hear how much you have improved.
Other benefits of this course:
You will have greater confidence when giving presentations at school or work and job interviews.
Study time will be reduced because this course enables you to retain more information -quicker.

Esther Roberts
The late Steve Hudson founded Voicemaster International in London 1995 and was joined by Esther Roberts in 2003.
Steve was a communication skills trainer for over 30 years and an international award-winning voiceover and television presenter for more than 50 years. He won a number of awards for production and performance.
Steve firmly believed that everyone has the potential to be a voiceover artist; they just need to be trained in a voiceover technique. People do not become good actors, golfers or surgeons without learning a professional technique. That's why the Hudson Voice Technique is so important to anyone who would like to sound more confident and persuasive.
Esther Roberts, now director of Voicemaster Internationalwas born in Netherlands. She relocated to the UK in 2003 to join Steve and Voice Master. She graduated as a social worker in 1999 and spent three years at the Triton Foundation before pursuing her passion for language education. In 2004, she earned her ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) qualification from the University of Cambridge, all while continuing her collaboration with Steve.
Over the following years, Esther became an invaluable asset to the team, serving as Steve’s right-hand ‘man’ in the office. She managed administrative tasks, maintained the website, recorded voiceovers, developed new courses, and provided essential support during training sessions.

It was indeed a good match for me. I always struggled with long sentences, which left me breathless - breaking it into small sentences with mental commas helped me nail it. Also I was emphasizing the wrong words - identifying the red flag words is helping me fix that as well. I'm working on voice control now. This course has been a great starter. Thank you.

Personally I am a visual learner and I'm very big on asking questions while learning. As long as my questions are answered and the response is explained then this course will work out really well for me. So far, I really enjoy the variety of scripts provided and the notes given to be printed. They really are great resources to always have!

Absolutey a great match. I am starting to record Edcucational and Marketing videos for my startup and this course is exactly what I needed.

I work as a content writer at an IT company, and I've been tasked with the responsibility to write interactive course modules for this company. The company realised that the course modules also needed to be narrated, and realising that I have a fairly pleasant voice, they asked me to narrate and record voiceovers for the course modules. And so I'm studying this course in the evenings while I put the course's lessons to practical use each day in my day job as I record voiceover narrations. This course is helping me begin to sound like a professional voiceover narrator.

It's a great course. After completing this course, I did intro and outro for my Dolphin And Whale Messages podcast. I feel comfortable doing voice overs for my other projects.

The course is mediocre and in grave need of a complete overhaul. The lessons are dated, and Steve Hudson's reading on the course is almost completely out of sync with contemporary voice over styles. Additionally, there are several highly noticeable technical glitches throughout the course. This sub-par course is clearly designed as a lead-in so that Hudson can up-sell prospective students far more expensive further courses. He claims to be offering a technique or set of rules for voice over. But based on this sub-par and outdated offering, I doubt that any of his "rules" would have any relevance or be of any practical use in contemporary voice over. Save your money people, and look for a better course.

A very informative course with good practice scripts for you to record and listen back to see your improvement.
I would recommend this course for all interested in Voiceover Work

Great course! Awesome value. Very clear and helpful instructions

I learned a lot, feel good abut moving on to more courses. The videos in this class need some work, there are pieces missing and other areas where it stops and won't continue.

I paid 29.99 for this course and seeing that it was a Bestseller, I decided to go for it. In the preview, Steve Hayes states that one will be introduced to two of the best online casting agents which did not happen. Also I have since found out after doing my own research that one requires a voice reel to get into voice over work as well as experience in either performing on stage or in front of a camera which unless you have been to drama school is not possible to gain. Do not waste your money.
By Jessica Davis on 8/25/2020
Easy to follow and learn. I like all the practice advised and love the work booklet!
