Metal Vox

I have a session Tuesday for my final project. I am tracking on an SSL 4056 G+ console. I am tracking and mixing a metal band, what is the best Mic and Mic technique for recording vocals that will sing and scream? My Mic locker goes like this. AKG

carrying voice

How do you carry your voice like you hear from many of the top performers. Is there special exercises you do to get your voice to carry better. A lot of times I am in a setting where there are a lot of people around, so I don't get the practice of singing all out and so that might make me not get that strength in it.

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?
