Any tips on what I should look for in getting a vocal mic (like one I can plug into my computer to record singing, not for live performance). I know you don't want to advertise a specific brand or model or anything.. but are there like, I don't know, particular features or something like I should look for? Or are they all the same and it's just the more expensive ones sound better? I really have no experience or knowledge about recording singing, so I'm not sure what to look for or where to start.
if you want to know my strategy, it is: use whatever you already have. if you literally don't have anything that is in any way capable of recording your voice (and i think you do, but in case you live in the desert or something) then use the one that is absolutely easiest for you to obtain. don't do a damn thing better until you are used to the way it sounds and know what you can do with it. if you 'don't know where to start' then it's not time for you to give a damn about which mic you use. it's time to give a damn about whether someone can understand the words you are saying. 120 years ago they made records out of wax, and they had a damn good time doing it
