Condenser Mic Advice Please!

Aurora Adams
Voice Over: English

Hi,
I'm needing to upgrade my mic from a USB to a condenser mic, and I've been reading so much advice (Gravy for the Brain and other sites) but some of what I read is conflicting, so it leaves me very confused about which mic I should get. I know there is no one answer, so to some extent it is a matter of what works for your voice. But I still need to make a decision, and as they are expensive my fear is that I might pick wrongly.

I know Rode NT1A reasonably priced/entry level, but I've been told it is a little bright.
Audio Technica has been recommended, but then online I read some negative points about it.
Shure comes up a lot, but that is Dynamic, which I've been told is not preferred for voice over.

If anyone can tell me what you are using and having success with I'd really appreciate it..

Many thanks!
Aurora
