What you should do is once you hear the Mac’s chine sound issue the keystroke Command R for a few seconds then let go. Now wait a while i’d say 30sec to a minute and then issue the toggle command to turn on Voiceover which is Command F5. Voiceover should start talking and you should now be in recovery mode.
