USB mic or XLR for voice acting?

Start with USB to get working. Transition to XLR when you book enough work to justify the investment. Clients judge your audio quality, not your equipment list.

Do I need acoustic treatment?

Absolutely. Voice-over is the most acoustically demanding recording discipline. Even slight room reflections are audible in spoken word. Treat your space before upgrading your microphone.
