A few months ago I was very interested in a possible collagen injection for a temporary repair job for my vocal chords. Since then I have had speech therapy. What my speech therapist did was have me do some neck exercises. The result has been that my vocal chords have been built up naturally and I can continue with the exercises and my volume will continue to improve. I have begun to sing more and now I am using Dragon Dictate both at home and at work. This will encourage me to enunciate more precicely. This should help and my speech should continue to improve. This is just my experience and I am excited about the way it is working so far. This takes some work but I think it is worth while. Yours and His David L. Moreland, 54/10 [log in to unmask]
