I'm not sure what inspired me to do this. I think in a way, what I wanted to do is to show people that they can use the SoundCloud feature to read and share their reading with Hubski. My hope is that people will begin to read their own poetry as well as posting the text. I think that would be really fantastic. Hopefully my reading made a few people laugh at how ridiculous this song is.
The microphone built in to your computer or phone is probably pretty good. If you have garage band, you can edit or mix there. I recorded this song entirely without a mic and it isn't so bad. Also, I used my iphone's voicememo app to record this spoken word. Otherwise my suggestion would be an SM57 or 58. If you get serious about purchasing audio equipment, kleinbl00 would be a good person to ask.
