Question / Help How Do I Ensure My Mic Is Loud?

[Mechacaseal]

I usually use a compressor and eq in video editors but im trying to use obs to record my gameplay, webcam, and mic and just upload to youtube. obviously its a good idea to use a compressor because when you commentate sometimes youre mumbling and sometimes youre yelling. is there a way to ensure my audio is always loud? what do i do? im trying to train myself to yell and try not to over drive the mic at the same time to make up for no compressor.
