Hey Letha,
Does Audacity allow you to record in 24-bit? Recording in 24-bit gives you much more headroom than 16-bit... with 16-bit, I used to have a lot of clipping / overdrive on my vocals, but those have been a thing of the past since I switched.
Which AKG are you using to record? I use a Perception 200 for most of my vocals, but I also have a C5. The P200 works very well (for me) with a pop screen about 2-3 inches in front of it. The C5 works best in recordings if you point it straight up (rather than having it mostly horizontal, like you would on stage) and sing over the top of the microphone.
Good luck!
Jim.
