The Voice Finale Winner! harrison Craig seal connor thevoiceau Source: Supplied THE Voice has done wonders for winner Harrison Craig and it has little to do with his music. The 18-year-old Victorian, who was crowned the second season winner on Monday night, says his stutter and confidence has improved since appearing on the Nine Network series. That means a lot to him too, he says. And even if he hadn't won a recording contract, $100,000 and a car, he says he still would be ahead just for appearing on the singing series. "Absolutely (it has improved)," Craig said. It (the show) makes you more comfortable and it's great, I'm really pleased about it. It's really helped me, so it's just been fantastic. Being thrust in front of the spotlight and doing dozens of interviews since the show started has been just one helpful step along his personal journey. Craig says he can see the day when he finally conquers his speech impediment although there's no rush to get to the end. "It's (the stutter) not something that bothers or annoys me, it's just part of my life and it will take time to get over, but I will get there," he said. Craig, who has not seen his father since he was five, was the feel-good story of the competition. He won the grand final ahead of former Ten Tenor and runner-up Luke Kennedy, third-placed folk singer Celia Pavey and New South Welshman Danny Ross. Craig's debut album with Universal Music, More Than A Dream, will be released on Tuesday, June 25, his new single Unconditional is already available on iTunes, plus a tour will be announced next week. "The album will include pieces that nobody has actually heard before," Craig says. The money I will pop it in a high-interest account and worry about it later. Seal also played a significant role in Craig's victory. Monday night's win was another win for the Grammy Award-winning coach, who has now mentored both Australian winners of The Voice. He coached 2012 winner Karise Eden to victory and this year was a guiding light and role model for Craig. The Voice winner says he channelled many of Seal's qualities and strengths while under his guidance. "He just seems to have this presence and this attitude that nothing will take him down and he has a composure that has really rubbed off on me," Craig says. Even though Seal is the only winning coach on The Voice, one bookmaker is suggesting he is more likely to leave than the other three judges on the series. Seal is the $2.40 favourite with sportsbet.com.au to follow Keith Urban, who departed after season one. Whatever happens, the next season of The Voice will need some tweaking to rekindle viewer interest after a slight drop-off in the ratings. The Voice winner announcement drew 2.307 million viewers - enough to win the evening on Monday - but it was well below last year's figure of 3.098 million.
