Hiya Arilynn and welcome to
SLU and
SL 
I've never used voice in
SL and I still often feel overwhelmed when I have a lot of IM's going. I am an introvert that is trying to create extrovert habits!
I think you'll find that many many people feel the same way as you - especially in the beginning of their
sl life.
It can be all very new and daunting in the beginning.
There are some marvellous scripting tutorials at the scripting college - none of which involves sound.
