forgive my ignorance but can anyone explain to me what the voltage regulator does?

Keeps the voltage from the alternator/generator at a steady voltage. Otherwise, you'd have spikes and peaks when the engine is revved.
thanks a lot that makes it pretty clear. Does it affect starting in any way though?

Not that I can think of, unless it's simply not outputting any voltage and has let your battery drain.
