Any advice on controlling a dynamic vocalist?

Hey Guys,

The Mic i've been using for live applications just doesn't seem to be cutting it. I primarly use an AT814a and also a Shure SM57.

I have 2x 4040s and a Marshall electronics tube condenser with nice preamps. Any VST plugins or other tips to make the vocals sound right in your face with a very full/present sound. thanks
