I realize some might be condenser and some dynamic . . . and different genres, voice, etc. But, in general, for general male vocals, for the most standard best bet for working out in most scenarios . . .

Which to get?

Note: I wrote "singing" as spoken word and rap might be a different animal

Saw the title and didn't know mics come in male and female varieties. I suppose mics I know are a bit phallic in shape....I'm struggling to picture a fanny-shaped mic though.

I don't think I'd do much singing into a fanny mic - wouldn't be able to resist licking it instead...

Yes, I want a manly man mic. I'm liking the reviews of the Senheiser MK4.

You'll be needing a lick-shield then? ...

Thanks for all of the generous help. LOL. I bought the Sennheiser MK4.
