Carolyne, there's lots of YT vids showing exactly how ME works. Here's one

Here's another one but using Studio One as a DAW.

This is very cool because Studio One fully integrates ME into itself and I don't think any other DAW does that. Plus the author of this series of vids is a member here but I've not seem him post lately. There are about 8 or 10 vids in the series and you should watch them all.

Studio One is very affordable and they include the basic version of ME in the price and give you a discount for the full version.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the use of ME. It's easy for someone who's never used it to make comments about how using pitch correction is faking vocals and they never did that in the old days, yaddayaddayadda. Forget that, it's a very important tool that you should have and understand.
