Authorial Voice in academic writing is a research topic that aims to determine whether the authorial voice has an impact on the quality of student writing. This research was conducted with a qualitative method. Data analysis in this study uses qualitative content analysis by Kibiswa (2019). The data used in this study are ten student writings when writing an introduction article in the academic writing course. Data collection was carried out through a licensing process by a lecturer in academic writing, namely Dr. Misdi. The results show that the authorial voice has an impact on the quality of student writing, especially in conveying arguments, the stronger their arguments, the better the authorial voice, the more impact on the quality of student writing. The average score is 72.7, which makes it clear that the authorial voice highlighted by students is strong enough.
