If you have a local speech pathologist that you can get your physician to refer you to that knows how to do the Lee Silverman technique this is the way to go to learn more about voice therapy. It is a very intense program and requires great motivation from the patient in order for it to work. However, I have seen it work in many people with Parkinson Disease. The main goal of the program is to increase volume, intelligibility and respiratory drive. Hope this helps.
