Hello Everyone,
      I am usually a "lurker" reading the posts to get info/ideas for my
Mom who has Parkinson's.  She has noticed that her voice is getting weaker
and we more often have to ask her to repeat what she says.  She realizes
that it is due to stiffening of the chest wall muscles and she's not getting
enough projection of her voice.  Are there ideas that can help her?  Are
there some exercises that she can do to strengthen her voice/chest wall
muscles, to get more "oomph" behind her words?  What about the voice
amplifiers...do they sound "natural"?   Are they basically microphones?
Thanks so much for your help!!

Corinne
