Apple have tutorials with garageband and voiceover on iphone. Unsurprizingly?, nothing for the mac so those who don't know are left with forum posts and reading through apple user guide and trying to replicate this and that for voiceover users. https://support.apple.com/guide/garageband-iphone/intro-chs02e86a8aa/ios

As for using a BT keyboard, it might make some track editing slightly easier, but maybe not if you're using VO because you'd likely be constantly moving back and forth between the keyboard and touch screen. Everything I've done myself has just been via touch screen gestures.
So yes, IMO, it would make things easier, something people don't generally like hearing because it means they need a keyboard. I keep meaning to get around to making something on this, for Mac as well. I'll see if I can dig into how to set up a basic podcast that won't disappear or something and try to start hammering some stuff out.
I'm going to warn everybody, I have a Bluetooth midi keyboard, and I'll be playing instruments with it. I say this because whenever it comes up, there's a contingent of people who start yelling about you shouldn't need all this extra equipment and why don't you just get a laptop then? But this is basically how everybody does it, see for example:
So if you're one of those people, whatever I end up doing might not be for you. I'll try doing stuff completely by touch at some point, but I'll be starting out with the lazy equipment first. To be fair, you need both I think, because there are things that will work with touch that won't with a keyboard. E.g. if you think of Breathe by Pink Floyd, and you want to do those lap steel slides in the beginning, setting your instrument to glide, or whatever GB calls it, and sliding on the touch screen can give you that, where keyboard won't really, because of the discrete key mechanisms.
This is the kind of jerk nerd behavior you can expect from any podcasts I might do, so there's that warning too, yeah. I describe myself on Facebook as NSFP, not safe for people. There will be opinions, and they will not be humble. Not judgy either, I'm for the more options the better, just not humble. I'm thinking probably the beginning ofthe new year, since I'm still working some stuff out, e.g. a good way to record me and the phone at the same time and fun stuff like that.
Plus I'm still learning. I guess that's the other thing too, I don't know a ton, so instead of trying to do a polished thing, I'm just going to take you along on the journey of figuring things out. I've gone back and forth on this because I get that nice concise tutorials where everything's figured out make a lot of sense, but then I think, I can do a bit anyway, let's get that down, because people keep asking for tutorials on both things. Better something than nothing. If that strategy sounds awful and everybody wants it figured out first, speak up.

I don't know enough or I would make one. lol More people seem to be asking for something like this.
I've been able to teach myself a little bit using Apple's very good VoiceOver section in the GarageBand user guide.

There are a bunch of Bluetooth keyboard shortcuts for it.
