An audio interface, one microphone, headphones, and free recording software. That's a complete studio for one voice or instrument.
Untreated room or noisy space: dynamic (like an SM7B-style mic). Quiet, treated room and you want maximum detail: condenser.
Not on day one — good closed-back headphones get you far. Add monitors when you start mixing seriously.
