      The automation is probably bad. Get control over the parameters. First is room sound, then your body(how you sit or stand, relative to mic etc). Later signal chain is tricky. Leave enough headroom, and try to find a good sound that is consistent. This is all very tricky.

      Mic placement is very important. If you move a lot while talking get a clip-on, headset. If not try to keep distance consistent. Find the standard textbooks for audio engs in English on microphones and related (radio specific), I have only read the German versions.

      Also if you plan on doing this for a while, pro gear you can usually buy the same or similar sounding mics decades later. Forget Blue mics or similar. But I'm a mic nerd. This probably doesn't matter.

      Don't buy a mic before you are sure you understand what it does, though.

      Oh and before these ideas mess up an episode: the auto mode probably does a lot of good. Auto-gain/level, compressor/limiter etc. You don't want to be too loud (distortion/clipping) or too low. Radio stations employ techs to do this live. Also wear headphones w/ your voice on.

      If you're not used to that it's incredibly awkward first but virtually everyone does this for direct feedback on voice quality. As for signal chain I'm trad, so mic -> preamp etc-> USB audio interface, this is expensive and probably not needed.

      Also and finally, you do have a voice that should work with the classic US radio mics. I'm biased towards the ElectroVoice RE-20. Very long list of users.

      OK I lied, maybe you want a mic that creates more oomph in the lower registers, then the RE-20 would be bad. Just don't get a stage mic, they're usually not great for speech (the Whitehouse using SM57 doesn't count)

      And not to ruin it further, some mics catch a lot more room sound than others, and if your current room doesn't sound good (this is complicated), getting a mic that's too "open" for room sound would be terrible. You probably want to be close to the mic anyway, US radio does that

      🙇🙇🙇 this is massively comprehensive (. . . sounding, to me). currently working on a Blue yeti but it would be fun to go further. thank you so much!

          I'm only scratching the surface so, yeah. First, read. A lot. Blue Yeti is okay. A smallish $2 capsule surrounded by a lot of non-functional plastic mimicking a pro mic. But it doesn't mimic the price so I'm not mad. They sound well enough. Would not change for now.

          (first prio could be figuring out a working de-essing process, your s/z/sh could need some trimming but this is normal).
