How to EQ your microphone for the best sound

Whether your computer has an inbuilt mic array or you use a USB mic, audio interface, or headset, the microphone you are using will rarely suit your voice straight out of the box. When you want your voice to sound its best for recording audio or for livestreaming; knowing how to equalize or EQ your mic input is a handy skill to have. To start with, you don't need expensive software, hardware, or a deep understanding of audio, just your microphone, a free program, and a little bit of time.
