Hi Brianna and welcome.
The best starting point is submitting a one minute test and the team there will guide you on getting your setup right. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test There is no need for an expensive mic... a decent USB mic can be bought for about $20 (US)on Amazon. Of course, you can pay a lot more for a better one, but best to see if you enjoy recording before forking out

When you start, it is best to read a chapter or two of established projects, but once you are familiar with the site and the process, you can branch out to any Public Domain text that interests you. You may be interested in the Languages Other Than English forum (see the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page). Of course, you're welcome to read in English, too, if you are comfortable doing that.
Lynne
