Angie It is claimed voice therapy helps but I don't know. If I raise my voice people freak out, so speaking louder doesn't get it for me. It is much more annoying and painful than I imagined it would be. So far I haven't found ANYTHING that makes a big enough difference. DBS allows me to move and stop tremoring, but I can't do anything well.
