    <title language="eng">Towards Virtual Audience Simulation For Speech Therapy</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The utilization of virtual reality (VR) technology has shown promise in various therapeutic applications, particularly in exposure therapy&#13;
for reducing fear of certain situations objects or activities, e.g. fear of height, or negative evaluation of others in social situations. VR has been shown to yield positive outcomes in follow-up studies, and provides a safe and ecological therapeutic environment for therapists and their patients. This paper presents a collaborative&#13;
effort to develop a VR speech therapy system which simulates a virtual audience for users to practice their public speaking skills. We describe a novel web-based graphica  user interface that enables&#13;
therapists to manage the therapy session using a simple timeline. Lastly, we present the results from a qualitative study with therapists and teachers with functional dysphonia, which highlight the potential of such an application to support and augment the therapists’ work and the remaining challenges regarding the design of natural interactions, agent behaviours and scenario customisation for patients.</abstract>
