How to keep the wave form at the same level when I talk and yell.

Hey guys, I want to know how to keep the wave form steady on when recording vocals. I know it's something about the compression. But.. do I need compression unit? or can I do it through a plug in?

What I mean by, "keep it steady" is, keep it at the same level, no matter if I'm yelling or speaking into the mic. You know?

Here is a video of what I mean - Mixcraft Studio Tips - Getting A Great Vocal Sound Part 1/2 - YouTube - Watch it from 5:30
