How to record your voice with a mac book pro, where/what program Options

[Lato]

Ok pretty simple I think, I just get a mic for my computers, wanted to do some voice work, but I was looking on my mac book pro to find out where to record my voice and couldnt find anything, anyone know?

Doesn't Mac Book Pro come with GarageBand?
I know you can use GarageBand to record audio/voice, so I would look for that on your Mac first. (I don't really use anything else on the Mac for audio because GarageBand works nicely.) =]

I really don't remember what they are called, but in the arts studio at the college, students would use professional-grade equipment for voice recording/vocals.
It was definitely expensive equipment, as it consumed a large portion of their annual budget just to replace/upgrade a couple of them a couple years back.

Technically, any "high quality" microphone you can find at a local electronics store should be adequate for what you're doing.
Though a studio and studio equipment is the optimal quality to record at/in. =]

I went to bestbuy and saw there micphones but they didnt have usb ends so im not sure they were for VA work, didnt see any other items so the guy just said I could buy this usb mic.

Well, I'm not really an expert on that equipment, so I'd take his advice (unless he sounds like he has no clue what he's talking about).
