In my search for good audio tools, I found UJAM, a free tool for recording your voice, creating a song, converting your voice to an instrument...you name it. You can see a beta walk through on YouTube, but basically, you sign up, record into your computer's microphone, and make a few manipulations--presto, a song. You can edit chords, the song melody, add instruments, etc. Or you can turn your voice into an instrument! This might be a good tool for musicians, music teachers, and certainly for budding rock stars! Maybe it would be good for unique exercise in a poetry class...the spoken word as song.
