A mic connected to your sound card, some software to record a WAV file from your mic (like windows sound recorder) and something like nero to convert
the WAV to a CDA file and burn it to a CD.
A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

Conrod,
have tried to add you to my Yahoo! messenger list. What's your Yahoo! ID?

Depends on how good quality you mean by "good quality"
If its for commercial or radio use you would really need a decent mic. A dynamic mic would do the job (say £50-£100) but a condensor mic is what pros
use, its much clearer and responsive, I think you can pick up cheap ones for £100+
You then need something to plug the mic into, a small mixing desk will do, maybe a about £100. Or a little amp, not sure on the cost of that.
Also you need a half decent sound card, you could probably get away with spending £50-£150
You will need software to record it, a compressor and a noise gate and reverb. You can download software from the usual dodgy places which has
compressor, a noise gate and reverb built in.
You'll also need a CD writer and software obviously.
If all that sounds totally over the top for what you are planning you can do the same job with a cheapo soundcard and a cheapo "tandy"
style mic with a minijack on the end. Total cost about £30-£40. You'll still need the software to record it and edit it too. The difference is
that you will sound muffled and like you are in a broom cupboard.
I'm a qualified sound engineer although I haven't used my skills in a few years really, but I can give you an idea of what to buy and how
to use the software if you tell me what its for and how much you want to spend.

Nero wave editor or Wavelab 4 are good programs for recording the vocal. You should get away with a cheapish mike and sound card.
Cheapest way would be to record to normal tape deck and then get someone who knows how to stick the tape onto CD for you - it's really easy and
you can get a half decent recording.

You can do it with a £2 mike from a computer fair and the soundcard on your computer. The sound is quite reasonable.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Might be worth you trying it with a cheap mic and soundcard before and see if the quality is what you require. You can pretty much spend unlimited
amounts on this sort of thing. Simply put, the more you spend, the better it will sound.
If you need a pro quality sound and it's just going to be a one off, try and find someone local with a small studio, there are loads of people
with stuff setup in their house. If you hire the gear, you will spend so long setting it up, working out how to use it, and getting a decent sound
that you will not have time to record the audio.
If you don't think you need pro quality sound then buy a cheap mic and soundcard and give it a try. It might well be good enough for you.

John you'll need a CD burner first! Other problem is your PC's sound is knackered and I've no idea how to fix it without a
reinstall of windows.
