E) Is easy to share with the community (especially parents)

F) Is just plain fun

All you need is a computer, some free software, a decent USB microphone that should cost less than $30, and naturally something to talk about!
Any computer will do, but if you have a Macintosh, your experience will be easier and of a better quality using GarageBand (which comes free with every Mac).
