How to record your voice on PC, edit the sound and export it to appropriate audio format?

As announced recently on RealPoor we are looking for your help in narration and voice synchronization of our animated comics (here is the latest sample but we are looking to improve the current feel & look).

The comic/cartoon will be converted and uploaded on RealPoor YouTube channels as well.

Anyway, a lot of members have no clue on how to record their own voice on PC. This is an ultimate guide on how to record your own voice using Audacity, a freeware for voice and audio recording.

If you would like to have more effects while editing and processing recorded or imported audio files, then some optional downloads and plug-ins could be helpful for you:

For our project, we need MP3 audio files which have to be exported from Audacity and uploaded on some free hosting websites or sent by email.
