Help! MTD

I've done the Botox thing and had a good voice (although it seemed strange to me) after about three months of almost no voice. The "good voice" lasted maybe 6 weeks. Now I'm back to the pre-Botox strained MTD voice. I asked the speech therapist I was seeing if there was a computer program I could use for therapy and feedback and she gave me the website www.praat.org to try. Does anyone have any experience with Praat? I have yet to be able to get the downloaded program to work. I guess I need an external microphone, although Windows XP Pro supposedly has an internal microphone (????).

Would greatly appreciate any advice!!!

Would appreciate any help in this area if any of you have used a home computer voice therapy program that allows you to speak into a micrphone, listen to your recorded voice and get feedback from the program to aid in improving your voice.

Thanks!!

The people at George Washington University in D.C. used to have a program for people with voice disorders, including SD and MTD, that uses a computer biofeedback program for voice therapy. You should get in touch with them:
