Thanks much Jonathan,
When I first had the mac configured I insured that both voiceover, and
voice control were active, I have not tried it as of yet.

My first priority to be honest is getting a solid enough voice.
The onboard tutorial is helping, but again I am far more used to greater
keyboard dexterity, meaning I will make mistakes while trying to learn
voiceover itself.
Oh yet another question on that
Karen, I would strongly suggest you put your focus solely on
mastering Voiceover before venturing into other areas. Get a handle on
the Voiceover commands as well as those the the standard Mac commands.
Find a local Voiceover user and invite him/her to come over and work
with you.
