The best tool I know to deal with 'plosives while recording is a 7/8" aquarium poly bio filter. You can buy pieces and affix to your microphone with rubber bands or jam into your shock mount. These will stop nearly anything short of a bomb blast without affecting the top end like thick foam rubber. Changed my life when I discovered these.

The best tool I know for cleaning up 'plosives is the De-plosive tool in iZotope RX. It used to be in the Advanced version but now it's part of Standard. Unfortunately, it's not part of Elements. iZotope RX Feature comparison

A great plug-in for learning how to place vocals is Nectar Elements, on sale for $24.50. It no longer contains Melodyne but, if you don't need pitch correction, that's ok. There are great tutorials.
