No thanks, no need for it or interest in it.
If you are interested in voice recording, there are a lot of places where your talents could be helpful or entertaining to others. Librivox (which offers volunteer recordings of public domain books) is a great example, and [their advice to beginners]
(https://librivox.org/pages/about-recording/#reading) is excellent. Especially in your case, I recommend:
- Investing in a better microphone if you plan to do this as a hobby.
- Pre-reading the material so it comes out naturally when you record.
- Cutting down the "ums"!
With practice you will definitely improve.
Another idea is to do podfics, which is when you volunteer to read an author's fanfiction for them if that's something you'd like to do. There are many sites where people post podfics (such as archiveofourown.org) of every fandom and type of story imaginable. Some people have quite a following doing this, and you can pick materials you're really interested in.
