Another goal on the list of dreams

Greetings.
For many years I've longed to read books aloud for audiobooks and was always told that I had to have voice training or be an accomplished actor/actress of some sort so 'just give it up'. Now I'm happy to hear that free stuff is open and I've been listening to a couple of books from Librivox: one group and one solo.
I have audacity but I'm not sure about a good microphone or setting up reading time. My latest sanza device makes a quiet flipping/ticking noise I'm not sure how to remove on audacity.
I'm sometimes particular about doing character voices and was wondering if that was allowed.
Also does one have to put their name on their work or can it be a pen name or no name? Are readers required to say their locations when the recording was made?
If I plan on doing a book solo do I post in the same area as the suggestions?
Thanks,
Z.T./D.W.
