I'm not particularly an expert but I know a bit about getting a good sound. Shure makes nice microphones. If you want to be recording vocals for studio work I would recommend looking at condenser mics that are within your price range. Read reviews etc. Dynamic mics are usually cheaper but the sound isn't going to be of studio quality generally, if ever. My friend recently purchased the Bluebird by Blue and it is beautiful. It's fairly cheap at ~$300 and the quality is great. You can record just about anything with good results if you know how to EQ it correctly etc. But yeah, overall, look for a condenser mic that is aimed at recording vocals and within your price range. I would recommend a few but I don't know much about the products that are out there, just search around. Good luck.
Thanks this is pretty much what I was looking for, I don't know a whole ton about EQ but enough I guess.
