The mic matters less than matching it to your room. Dynamic for real rooms, condenser for treated ones — here's the honest breakdown.

The mic hears your walls. Get closer to the mic, sing into the room's soft side, and hang blankets before buying gear — it's free and dramatic.
Modern interface preamps are clean and plenty. Quiet dynamics like the SM7B may want an inline booster, but that's the exception.
A pop filter. Plosives ruin takes and can't be fixed in the mix.
