Question condenser or dynamic

i read the previous threads on here about dynamics and condensers, but i still have some specific questions about my recording situation

i've got a small home studio going on so right now i'm recording vocals (don't laugh) inside my walk-in closet with a rode nt1-a going into a universal audio dcs and into an apogee duet.

basically i want to record both male and female vocals along with some acoustic guitar. my main problem now is that i'm not getting very "up front" and detailed vocals to sit nicely on my mixes (mostly electronic and rock).

after doing some research about condenser and dynamic microphones (mostly on here), i started to become unsure as to why my vocals were sounding so bland. is it because i am using a condenser microphone in a not very suitable recording environment, or is it because the microphone i am using just doesn't have the detail i am looking for?

as to what i should get, so far my bet is on the blue baby bottle, but i think i might benefit more from an sm7b or an re 20.

thanks in advance!
