Mic for screaming?

My wife screams into the telephone when she's angry at me, that seems to pick it up pretty well.

Enormous proximity effect too.
 
It depends on the situation. If the guy is just standing there screaming, I would use a condenser. If he is one of those guys that has to be holding and cupping the mic to 'get into it', a 58 would be a better choice. I've had good luck with the Sennheiser 858 (?) hand-held live mic. It doesn't get as muddy as a 58 when cupped and screamed into.
 
Yer like farview said alot of screamers have to move around alot and get into funny postitions to get into it and perform their best. It actually works as when you get into some positions it 'opens up the windpipe' more. or something like that, and its much easier to scream.

The sm 58 is genrually a muddy microphone so if you havnt allready got it i would consider buying another.
