It's pretty much been said, but in short terms:

Find the mic which works best for your voice by going out and trying as many as you can find until you find the one which suits you best. We can recommend tons of stuff, but without your own ears, you'll never know how you sound on them.

Here's a good reference to get you started (another mic shootout):

I was under the impression that a wide diaphragm condenser was the way to go, and that one should not use a dynamic for spoken word, especially if one is a female. Am I on crack?


Actually, the mic experts tell us that a small diaphragm condenser is best for voice work but who ever beleived an expert?

Having worked in a ton of different studios with a couple of tons of different microphones, I've never been put in front of a dynamic microphone since turning "pro" in 1979.
