Using a lapel microphone for recording vocals can be a cost-effective option, especially if you're just starting and don't want to invest in a more expensive microphone right away. While lapel mics are not typically designed for vocal recording, they can still produce decent results, especially in controlled environments with minimal background noise.

To get the best results, make sure to position the lapel mic close to your mouth and adjust the recording levels to avoid clipping or distortion. Additionally, consider using a pop filter or windscreen to reduce plosives and improve the overall sound quality.

It's great that you've seen videos on YouTube showcasing good quality vocal recordings using lapel mics. This indicates that with the right setup and technique, you can achieve satisfactory results for your recordings. If possible, try to test out a lapel mic before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations for vocal recording.
