Generally it is not a good idea to touch the mike with your lips. What you see is singers on microphones that cost thousands of dollars and have all sorts of processors, filters and screens to protect for extraneous noise. Make sure the room where you record is "dead." There should be no echo. Put your tongue against the roof of your mouth and make a clucking or knocking noise. If the noise comes back at you - your room is too live. Hang some fabric from the walls, or put acoustical tile in odd spots on the wall. Practice a lot. Especially words that are pop-prone (almost anything starting with the letter "p." Do this until you are used to your new mike. With practice, you'll eliminate the offending noises. Good luck.
