Hmm.. I don't have much experience in singing but from what I learned from recording UTAULOIDs, a good mic and a good program would definitely help. If you're not planning to earn money from your singing, a mic between $15-30 is good enough. Don't go over board and get a $100+ unless you're completely serious about pursuing singing. Most utaite use microphones under $50, though some switch to more expensive ones when they become more pro. I recommend getting a condenser microphone. They're better for recording singing for covers. As for programs, it really depends on what you're comfortable with. For instance, Audacity is great only if you know how to use it. Other programs like Mixcraft is easier to use and gets the job well though it costs some money unlike freeware like such as Audacity. [Mixcraft is a lot like GarageBand.] Like what Yunomi said, Adobe Auditions is also quite popular for utaite so you can prolly try that out too.
