Welcome on board Joe!

I've not done anything with speech programs or anything so I don't really know. For me though the thoughs of a nice soft sweet feminine voice whispering in my ears sounds really appealing to me. Using your own voice? Well, you know how strange you sound to yourself when you play back a recording? With that in mind, I don't know if it matters if it is your voice or not.

As far as the I vs. You thing. I really don't think it matters as long as the context is consistent and doesn't cause stress. I listened to a series of tapes one time for AP, the guys presentation really put me on edge and I could never relax enough to get into it.
