I do think I do need to look at a different mic. I'm using a Blue Snowball at the moment which I know isn't the best. I'm looking at investing in another one in the new year.

Thanks for that feedback Rustyspoon. I will keep working on it and I do need to work on my voice. I'm considering getting some lessons but I need to find a good singing teacher! I'll have a look at breath controller. I think I had the microphone a bit too close because I was using that same equipment (rayc linked me to your post, thanks for the recommendation!)
