Using a condenser like those suggested in live situations is also not a good idea. Mr B has a good suggestion. A sort of poor man's sm7 if I recall. I use a beyerdynamic m88 live but a couple of sennheiser dynamics as backup. Good live mics and better than sm58 for live and recording. Fwiw I would hold off on cheap condensers till you get a better idea of what suits your voice. I started with Rodent1 and it was too sibilant. Bought a midrange ldc and was happy with it . I sold the Rode but eventually bought a Rode Classic valve mic which is still my go to. But always the dynamics for live. Oh I also have several sm58 a SM57 and some sdc mics that I use for drum overhead and acoustic guitar. Sdc from bringer Samson and Karma are very cheap and might be worth buying used. Mine were all used apart from a pair of Karma silver bullets.
