Well I don't know who Britt is and I haven't heard her voice so I can't fairly make any suggestions. However, Rode's NT3 is one of the harshest, brittle sounding mics I've encountered so your comment comes as no surprise..............honestly, I think almost any of the better known Chinese manufactured LD mics would be an improvement, obviously, some would be more suitable than others depending on the match up between Britt's voice and the individual mic's characteristics.

The only vocal mic I am familiar with is the Rode NTK. I would recommend that one, if it is in your price range. Although you don't mention dynamic, they used to make an Electrovoice PL80 that was designed more for the female voice and had a sharp cut to the highs. It's long out of production though and I'm not sure what would be today's equivalent.

I listened at Soundclick and think that I would use a SP T-3 for her vox. (And less 'verb imho) I might be wrong but that's where I would start. I don't have the U47
or I would use that. I MSH buys them in bulk he can get a good deal and give us all one. Seriously, try a T3 at guitar center or somewhere and see how it sounds for her.

Nah, I got mine at Guitar Center, it was missing the power supply so I talked them down to $100, and they threw in a free Nady pop filter
Hey apl, why not support your neighbor state and buy a KSM32

That Shure's kinda pricey. The T3 might be OK, I could subsidize it by eBaying the RØDE.

Exactly.
And I almost jumped in last night, but since I don't know what an NT3 is supposed to be like, I thought I should keep my yap shut this time.
BUT,
I was going to suggest something tubey. Either that or an sm7 or KSM44. Or possibly, a tube pre. Or some combination thereof
I've got a V67 that's supposed to be 'dark', (which I don't see, but not having any other LDCs to compare it to, what do I know) that you are perfectly welcome to try out. As soon as I get my sm7 (soon, I swear it), you can have a go with that, too. Also got a Brick tube pre you can borrow.
