Check out YouTube and search "Vocaloid3 tutorials". There are several video tutorials that you can take a look at to give you an idea of what to expect.

And yeah, it's a lot... the biggest challenge is keeping up the patience it takes to learn about the tools you'll be using and making sure the final product is truly "finished". I've seen this a lot inside the fandom (and in RL as well): a good number of people make the mistake of rushing things and either get discouraged and quit, or end up sharing the end result with mistakes that could have been easily fixed after re-listening to the song a few times beforehand. Just take the time to play around and expiriment with everything, and when you feel comfortable enough, you can get down to business without feeling overwhelmed. ;-)

You can also search for those freeware programs I mentioned if that's what you want to try for yourself. As I mentioned before, they're very limited in what they can do compared to professional DAWs... but if you work with them enough, you may find some loopholes for those limitations.
