There is always a selection of mics to choose from.

At first it doesn't matter which mic you will use -- if you use it right.

Any microphone that is not omni directional, in other words any microphon that has a directional effect (mostly one form of cardioid), will pick up lower frequencies more the closer the source of sound is to the diaphragm. Some will say (as Eddie for instance) it has a richer sound. There is nothing wrong with that.

In the end: if you have chosen a microphone use it with somebody else evaluating the sound of your natural voice and your mic'd voice. When the other person says that both sound the same then you have your settings right. These settings include equalizer settings and -- very important -- the distance of your lips to the micrphone. If you're getting too close to the mic it will create sort of a booming sound on the recording, a quality that you probably don't want to have.

Before messing with equalizer settings, start with the distance mouth to mic.
