Start with what you hear
Your first purchases should serve the sound. A microphone, a way to connect it, and headphones you can trust will do more than any decoration or extra gadget.
The audio chain
Microphone, cable, interface or mixer, computer and headphones. If you use a USB microphone, the interface and cable drop out of the list.
Then the extras
Add a boom arm, pop filter and a spare cable. Once audio is solid, move on to lighting and a camera if you publish video.
