recording voice only and getting soft sound

I am recording voice only, one at a time. I am using a Tascam US-122 and Shure SM58 microphone (dynamic microphone). The signal is very low--setting the gain all the way up on the US-122l still results in a very soft recording. When I go to replay the recording, I still have to turn up the volume almost the entire way to hear it. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

mic for very soft female vocal

At the moment I'm using a RODE NT1000 to record a girl with a very soft voice. Without eq she sounds very boomy and dull. To make her sound better I roll of the bottom and boost around 2k. I'm thinking that I might get better results by buying a mic that fits her better in the first place. Right now I'm using Mackie preamps but I plan to buy a Phoenix Audio DRS-1.

Soft Clipping

Anlybody knows goot Soft Clipping VST plugin ?
Because i had some strange peaks in a mix, maybe drumeer hit side of snare, something like this.

and this prervents me from making it LOUD.
i have f**ked pretty much with MB compressor to find this frequency, but it will affect my mix anyway, so Soft Clipping can helt, but i don't have such plugin :(
