Recording a person speaking is quite straightforward and getting good results shouldn't be too hard given the right environment and equipment. If you are using a close micing technique, which is necessary with a cardioid condenser microphone, you will want to place a pop shield between the mic and the person speaking pop shields, protect the microphone from of air known as plosives which occur when a person makes puck and bus sounds with their voice. Pop shields are not necessary for boundary or lapel microphones as they are not being spoken into directly positioning of your microphone, depends on the type of microphone you're using and your environment recording should always be done in the quietest possible space, preferably far away from noisy computers and other electrical equipment. You will be surprised how much microphones can pick up in an ideal world. This room should also be fairly spacious and filled with soft furnishings which absorb reflected sound. This isn't always realistic. Not everybody has a specially treated sound booth in their house.
