My dad listened to it and said it sounded to him like the starter was dead and I just wanted to get a second opinion.

That sounds like a starter problem to me.

It sounds like the starter is moving, just slowly due to lack of power. I'd take your battery to an auto parts store and have them do a test on it. They will tell you quickly if it's good or bad. If it's good, it probably just needs a recharge. They will do all of this for free. Usually takes about a half hour to charge it.
