Just like Meta-Kakera said, first, a recording program; and I think that Audacity is already good enough. Depends on how much time and such you'll spend in Singing... Since Audacity is free, you don't need to spend any money for it~ and it isn't that bad.{I actually like Adobe Audition more...>,>} Well, uh, so, the microphone part is more like, the more difficult part. I'm using Singstar USB microphones... but argh well, I would recommened the Blue USB microphones; So far I was told that many people are using it and it's pretty good; (Snowball and Yeti) you could search comparisons of these two Microphones in Youtube, and then decide. BUT, still, I guess it depends on how much time and work you want to spend in it... If you're just, like, singing for fun, I won't buy these microphones since they're pretty exspensive...[IMO!] *sniffle*(<Low budget orz) Actually microphones that sound clear and don't pick up TOO much noise are already ok- but yeah, sorry, I don't really have any experience with other microphones  than mine orz SDAWIOJADSLAIOEWHAKSLJDLA There's so much to talk about utattemita @____@ Ok, I'm kind of already getting to the "When-you-start-singing"-part... and such. So, urgh, OF COURSE you'll be singing stuff that you like. There's actually no way that you're going to sing stuff you don't even like, so, urgh. (Was that really necessary? *slaps herself*) ... Better give you some tips before my mind starts getting ASDLMWAIEAJSDLKA. 1. If you think you're singing bad, then, first of; I guess you could try to improve your singing- there are a lot of singing warm up video's and such in Youtube.(This is actually pretty important; it doesn't really matter which equipment you have, [ok, it kind of does, but who cares now /shotdead] most times it more depends on how your singing actually is.) 2. DON'T, NEVER. at least, that's not what I like, don't try to immitate other utaite... develop your own singing technique,... because I really think that imitating other styles is kind of... useless. It's more like, I was imitating Akiakane for a while too, but gave up in the middle because somebody said, "Why don't you just sing in the way you want?"[In a more... terrible way] and then I was kind of... yep. Because, actually you can't really improve a lot if you imitate others, ... sing in a way you want to- so it's kind of - your own way. 3. DON'T SING IN A WAY YOU CAN'T SING OR STRESS YOUR VOICE WITH IT. Sing in your natural voice. Because, I guess, and I also think that it's kind of right- If you try to go all way cutesy, and your throat is hurting, ... you kind of already know what I mean, right?

...If there's still something you need, ask me...(If you trust me owo)(WHAT WAS THAT)

Hope you can do something with this... totally long comment orz
