Multiple Brands - Warm Audio, sE Electronics, Lauten Audio etc. - V7

SE Electronics V7 is a good option. It's a little more detailed/less boxy then the SM58 and doesn't have nearly as strong of a proximity effect. You can usually find one used for around $100.

I like the SE V7. The wired mic and capsule for wireless are pretty budget-friendly.

try super cardiod mics like the se v7 or even shure beta 58a. have your drummer tape his cymbals. turn guitars and bass down on stage. use in ear monitor. project your voice more but not like you are doing to hurt yourself etc

I do live sound and do my best to never use on. The SE v7 beats it completely in sound with less harsh highs, less boomy plosives, and significantly better at not feeding back.

I switched to an SE V7 and it helped

I got my two Beyerdynamic m58's (which are their version of the EV 635\[a\], omni dynamic mics "intended for" location sound for news) for €50 each. I use them on a lot of stuff, but mainly mono drum overhead and backing vocals. Also the 635a, but you can't get them for \~$40 like I did anymore. I got a Josephson c42 (84 clone) at GC Hollywood for $40, but I'm reasonably sure it was mis-marked. The sE v7 is my *favorite* live vocal mic for low males, bar none, and it is under $€100 new. I end up using it in the studio for scratches, and sometimes they stick. My favorite for females and high males is the Lewitt W950, though, and it ain't cheap. The Line Audio SDC's are insanely good and useful for their new price. Same goes for the Lewitt 140 AIR, but it is a bit more limited because of its high boost.

V7 is miles ahead of a 58.

I’ve had some good luck with Logic’s stem splitter for exactly this problem. It’s not perfect, the amount of artifacts can vary, but if you get a decent result it can sit in the mix much better than a vocal with tons of cymbal bleed. (Edit: and yeah cleaner capture is the first priority. I like SE V7 or Audix OM2 for better rejection, treating the room is super helpful, if you have time play around with placement of the singer and check what you’re getting.)

I’d highly recommend SE Electronics range. The V7 is akin to the SM58 but I think it sounds a lot nicer. They also have a new-ish range of broadcast style mics that might be better for VO work. The Dynacaster DCM6 has a built in “cloudlifter” and is an incredibly good mic for the money and should be well within your budget.
