In 2014, I wrote about my battle with dysphonia and how it affected my voice. An encouraging sign that the botox shots in my vocal cords have restored my radio voice since then: When I answered the phone at work, a caller said, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" (If you don't remember, that's the slogan from the Memorex cassette tape commercials.)
If you're a dysphonia sufferer, take heart in this. Ask the doctor to quantify the amount of botox you're being given, if (s)he hasn't spelled it out. Let the doctor hear how you sound, so you can be given more or less botox, as needed. My voice has come a long way over the past two years. So can yours.
