Congrats on a big decision.
I am just finishing RCIA and will be confirmed on Easter. I came from a Protestant background too.
There is just a TON of stuff to learn about and take part in. I almost immediately began to use these prayers. Got myself a Douay Rheims bible (Baronius Press has the most beautiful DR in existence, in my opinion). I bought and began to pray the Rosary shortly after starting RCIA (I can also refer you to a great seller of rosaries). I also pray whats called the "Liturgy of the Hours. Its kind of complicated and hard to learn though so you may want to have a Priest help you with it.
I guess just be a sponge. Catholicism isnt as hands off as Protestantism teaches. It is very inviting and welcoming or at least it should be.
Go ahead and say those prayers.
Feel free to message me with any questions.

By all means, do these prayers, and the sign of the cross.I’m not Catholic yet but want to be and will start RCIA soon.

Basically, you are allowed to do everything except receive Holy Communion.
I am the Lay Director for RCIA in our parish, and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Also, make sure you take advantage of the wealth of knowledge that your clergy, and RCIA team have to offer.
Welcome!!

Yes, make the Sign of the Cross and say the Hail Mary. There is nothing wrong with any of that what-so-ever. You have made the correct decision on turning to the Catholic faith.

Being raised Protestant, I happily had a long habit of praying to Our Lord in a free and conversational way. I have kept that habit, but also incorporated the many wonderful prayers handed down by tradition. It is good to talk to God. But He also knows what is in our hearts, and we’re not going to impress Him with rhetoric. So if you have things to say to Him, say them. But part of the beauty of the Catholic prayer tradition is that you can pray at all times without ceasing… even when you don’t know what to say or don’t have much to say.
Welcome to the church of the Apostles.
