If you get a mike, and still don't get your voice across, it could be--it happened to me--that the setup of your sound card is wrong, or maybe one should say incomplete. When I first installed a sound card I could get nothing across. Someone suggested that I go to the soundcard's setup program, to make sure that microphone was enabled. Sure enough, it was not. Once I enabled the mike, I was in business. Go thou and do likewise, maybe.
