The PSR Method by Steve Hudson
A Review
By Cheryl Kay

This is an impressive looking package of fun! Extremely well prepared and professionally packaged. Classy yet simple.

PSR stands for Presentation Skills and Reading and is designed to make you a more effective communicator. The course goes step by step through each of the 7 elements presented. You follow along stopping the CD when instructed and then you practice, record and practice. These seven elements are the core of the program and each step is clearly explained. At the end of the course you compare your first recording with your last recording and the course price includes sending these to Steve for review and a diploma.

Steve Hudson has a delightful and professional voice and explains his course in a clear and easy to understand manner. The course is to be continued for several weeks with a recommended 60 min a day practice time. Though I am only half way through the course I do feel as my ability to interpret copy has strengthened and I really liked the exercise for finding the right volume when speaking or reading. I found my #1 through #10 voice and understand the differences. I am looking forward to finishing the course and sending along my first and last recordings for Steve to review and “grade”.

All in all a good package, though the price may be a bit high for a home study course and some of the techniques do not align with what others teach I feel it’s a great program for confidence, reading skills and the ability to communicate effectively and that makes it a worthwhile investment.
