Hello All,
My name is Zach Watters and I am currently a teacher in San Antonio, Texas. Some friends suggested that I get into recording, and I had heard of Librivox, so here I am! I'm hoping to get started soon. I have a MacBook computer - does anyone have any suggestions for what microphones to get?
Thanks,
Zach Watters
Hello from San Antonio
Hello Zach and welcome to LibriVox
For starters, while you're figuring out whether you like it here, you could use the in-built mic and see how it works for your 1-minute test or a short recording, like the one in Weekly Poem. Once you've decided you like recording (and editing!) you could listen to this project: https://librivox.org/microphone-showdown-3-by-various/ which showcases recordings done with various setups. You may find something interesting there. YOu may also be interested in the conversations in the project thread itself:

We also have mic threads in the Need Help? forum that you may find useful.
Have fun
