Depending on the final application. Using a lossless recording format to 
record your voice, foley (sounds effects you generate yourself) and/or music 
is the way to maintain the best quality.
Afterwards, you may want to compress the sound file down to MP3 or OGG, for 
example if it is going to be downloaded over a slow internet connection.

 For my money of already to go sound effect, easy to use.. Audacity in 
Ubuntu Studio out of the box is great. Record a voice file and then go 
through the HUNDREDS of effects/plugins it can apply to it.

Ardour, is good for multi-track recording of multiple sound sources, then 
mixing, and mastering. Maybe a little overkill for your needs. I don't 
know... It does so much I have still only scratched the surface!

Play with both... great way to learn!
