What kind of microphone should I be using?

Hey Ken, quick question. What microphone would you recommend for recording vocals in a home studio? I recently got a Blue Baby Bottle and am curious if someone of your expertise could give me your opinion on this particular microphone or a different one. My Instagram is (Pondrocks_) (https://www.instagram.com/pondrocks_/) and I just made a youtube (Pondrocks Music) (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDac-vQMSitqQAAkYjaYrbQ) if you want to hear my voice. I’ve heard that the type of voice matters for different microphones but am unsure if this is true. Anyways, hope you are thriving during quarantine. Rock on!

what do you think of that microphone? I think it works well for you, sounds good! you could experiment with the placement of that pop filter to catch a few more of the wind noises that were there (maybe a few inches away from the mic).

I do like it a lot. It is very crisp and clear. I am still learning how to use it though. This is my first time actually trying to use a condenser mic to try to mix vocals with audio tracks on Pro Tools First ( which I am also sill learning how to use).
