Shure SM 58, aye. Out-live and out-perform all. Don't take a knockoff to save a few bucks. It may sound great but won't be as tough. Then the sound goes.

Treat yer mic like yer vocal cords-- with care and respect. After all, once you get used to using one, it is as important in getting your sound out as the cords. And spend a lot of time at home practicing with the volume way up. You will be mortified at first as you hear all your vocal imperfections amplified, and any lack of support will sound perfectly awful. After a couple of hours of practice, tho, you will adjust your technique to what you are hearing off the amp, and the amp sound will replace what you have been hearing mostly through your jawbone. And you will discover all kinds of things that your voice can do that you did not know it could do. But be careful with this, some of those new tricks can hurt your voice.

What are you planning to plug it into? Until I had my Crate acoustic amp with vocal input, I used a bass amp, and it actually worked pretty well.

Have fun with it! Wish you could come sing with me!

I'll second the SM-58. Very reasonable. The J-45 of microphones.

I need to buy a microphone... I know absolutely nothing about sound equipment, and have never purchased a mic before... Can anyone recommend a good mic for female vocal? (I don't mind spending a little money if it's worth it for the quality)

Help!
