This free interactive workshop illuminates the five top skills you gain from reading and gives some information on how to develop them further.

PSR stands for Presentation, Skills, and reading. PSR method is one of the most innovative strategies for verbal communication that will help you to become a successful creator of voiceovers. The PSR METHOD COURSE (Presentation Skills and Reading) is devoted to PSR methods and guides you to create your excellent voiceovers that will appeal to other. Do you want to create voiceovers? Or want to engage your listeners? Then the course is designed for you. The course will teach you how to make a compelling voiceover that can help you to grab the attention of the listeners and also helps you to earn more. Throughout the course, you will learn what to do before a recording, how to prepare yourself for recording, find out the metal commas, how to control your pace, Red Flag Words, finally, what to do after the recording the voiceover. We communicate to share information. But the problem is most of the people will not listen to the lengthy discussion. The purpose of the course is to guide you to apply the effective delivery of words. After completing the course, you will be able to control your voice as a musician controls his musical instruments. In a matter of hours, you will see a radical change in the way you deliver words. People study for years to qualify for their chosen profession and then gain experience in the work place. They can now be considered experts. However, there is something missing - none of us were taught a communication technique (set of rules) at school, we were simply taught to string words together. The PSR Method changes your speech pattern from instinct to technique, enabling people to become more aware of the way they speak, learn how to control their voice and the way words are delivered. Without a technique, we are left to use our instinct. Dictionary definition: instinct /in'stingkt'/ n. The innate aspect of behaviour that is unlearned. In other words you are making up your own rules; you're 'guessing'. On the other hand, it describes technique /tek-neek/ as follows: A set of specific rules which determine the degree of excellence. The degree of skill or command of fundamentals exhibited in any performance. Instead of us telling you how effective this course is, let's leave it to those who have already done the course...... 'The Hudson Voice Technique is powerful structured technique that teaches to use your voice like a precision tool to convey emotion and conviction, draw your listener in, and enhance memory retention. This is an essential part of your influencing toolkit.' Mike Clayton, Business Speaker and Author 'This course is hands on, You start improving how you read and apply your voice in the first 20 min. You are given the tools and all you need to do is apply, compare and practice.' Tania Ras-Devereux 'I will be forever more mindful of the way I speak when doing presentations and my podcast. In a little over 2 hours I have learned enough to change the way I speak forever. Thank you for a great course.' Nolan Collins 'This course delivers exactly what it says it will. At the beginning of the course you are asked to record a number of lines to the best of your ability so you can compare it with what you sound like at the end. I was skeptical about how much I was improving during the course... I mean, sure, I learned some good advice but I didn't feel any huge improvement. Then I recorded the final readings and compared them to my firsts and wow... mind blown! This course gives basic advice and intriguing explanations for how to improve your voice while reading a script that has monumental results. ...All in all this is a course where the results speak for themselves and I highly suggest it.' Malcolm Tolman 'I really enjoyed this course. I found that his method makes it very easy to analyze the most complex blocks of reading and devise how to get through it - all on the fly! Great job. Totally worth my time and money!' Kenneth Gonzales What you will learn: How to control your pace - most of us talk too fast - especially when nervous or under pressure Use the three vital rules at the end of a sentence - Sound more confident and decisive How to pitch a script - add immense power to presentations Control the tone of you voice - become a more dynamic public speaker Recognise 'Red Flag Words' - boost the impact on the audience How to read a script - 95% perfect, first take, without rehearsal. How it works: Before you start the lessons, we ask you to record some scripts to establish your stating point. Keep these scripts in a folder. Go through the lessons. Although the video will be a certain amount of time, you will be asked to read and record during the lessons. Keep these recordings for yourself so you can listen back to them to criticise your work. Once you've gone through all the lessons, we ask you to practise for about a week, combining the lessons. When you are happy with your progress, we ask you to record the same scripts you read before you started the course. Place these in the folder you created and where you placed your 'Before Recordings'. Send the Before and After recordings to us and Steve will assess your progress. If he is satisfied you have mastered what you've been taught, he will send you your Voicemaster Diploma. You will be provided with a work booklet which we ask you to print before you start. There is also the option of reading certain scripts on-screen, just like an autocue/teleprompter.

She is the author of The Cat Family series, and many non-fiction titles for children.

ABOUT YOU Include a covering letter, in a word document, telling Lucy about yourself and your sources of inspiration. If you have one, include a link to your website. She is keen to read stories she hasn't seen before or see artwork with a distinctive style rather than something that fits with trends. She has particular experience with picture books and illustrated narrative non-fiction. AUTHORS Please send a full manuscript (or 3), in a word document, starting with a short summary/blurb. Make the summary punchy and engaging. Remember that the best picture book stories are simple and every word should count. Do you see this book as part of a series? ILLUSTRATORS If you have a picture book idea please send a story board and a summary of the story. Please send a diverse selection of artworks from your portfolio. It is useful to see examples of the following: people of different ages and ethnicities, character studies showing a range of clothes and expressions, animals, a selection of everyday objects, wide-angle vistas, an example of a book cover (i.e. a classic book reimagined). Please send these in PDF where possible. (In addition to the paid sessions, Lucy is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: MG, YA, ADULT FICTION, ADULT NON-FICTION, NON-FICTION FOR 7+ Megan Carroll is looking for writers in a variety of areas, and from a wide range of backgrounds – she is particularly keen to hear from Black, Asian, and LGBTQIA+ writers. Her main areas of focus this year are adult fiction and non-fiction, as well as non-fiction for 7+, and MG and YA fiction. In Fiction, Megan is keen to see high-concept love stories (think The Flat Share or The Lock In) for both commercial and reading group readers. She’d love to see those familiar romance tropes – enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, love triangles, forbidden love etc. – with underrepresented characters at the centre. She is also looking for historical fiction and gothic horror (think Laura Purcell, Stacey Halls and Silvia Moreno-Garcia) – anything that has a creepy, uneasy undertone is likely for Megan’s list. Megan is also actively looking for upmarket fiction and would love to see layered family drama, contemporary stories about life today and darkly comic novels that explore a specific time, place or experience. In Non-Fiction, Megan is keen to hear from experts in their field talking about topics relating to film, music, true crime, popular culture, history and issues from largely unrepresented perspectives. She is keen to see memoir, narrative non-fiction and essay collections. In Children’s and YA, she is keen to see contemporary YA with humour, and romance at the heart – fun and emotional stories that appeal to the interests and issues of the teenage readers. She’d also love to see thrillers and horror stories for this age group too. It’s unlikely that high fantasy novels for YA readers will be right for her, but she is keen to see stories with fantasy elements in a real world setting. On the younger end, Megan is looking for funny, contemporary middle grade – think Louise Rennison and Karen McCombie – and anything creepy and spooky for 8-12 year old readers too. She’d love to find something like Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and is keen to find original adventure stories in both fantasy and realistic settings. Megan would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first three chapters or 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. (In addition to the paid sessions, Megan is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print).  By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event.

It is common for unschooled, or Self Directed Learners, to learn to read anywhere between the age of 3 - 16 years old. How can you be sure that your child will learn to read and that unschooling reading works? This webinar will draw attention to the things that children do that are developing the skills and building the foundations that they need for them to learn to read.  This will be done through using real life examples and stories from the unschooling community of real children who have learnt to read in their own time and in their own way.  This webinar is FREE for LPL Monthly Members along with a back catalogue of Unschooling Webinars, 2 live webinars a month, and discounts on coaching and mentoring services. Sign up for just £20 per month. Yes! I want to join the LPL Monthly Membership

She also loves historical fiction and series crime. Kate would like you to submit a covering letter, one page synopsis and the first three chapters (Max 5,000 words) of your completed manuscript in a single word document.
