Record my voice reading: High quality software needed

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

I was asked to produce a tape of my voice reading a few paragraphs, and some pieces that would be like commercials. Since my ears don't work real well, I have never paid much attention to sound software.
Now I have an need to find software quickly.
Being as my job just went from 5 days to 3 days, I have to do it on the cheap.
What software would you suggest?
Note, running XP
Thanks VERY much,

I guess that you can record your voice with almost any direct sound recording software. It is more important to have a nice mic and sound card.

You may use freeware Ask & Record Toolbar, Freecorder Toolbar, MP3DirectCut or Audacity. The latter program allows you to edit files, so it might be a better solution in your case.
