The very first thing I bought after my first gig (like the next day) was a compressor limiter.
Average volume singers who like to pretend they are rock stars by cupping there hands around the mic head will also send all the lights into the red zone. While I personally don't care if they intentionally sound like crap for the sake of looking "cool" when they get to the point of harming the mic diaphrams (cupping and screaming at the same time) I'll usually tell them to Knock it off
My speakers are very resistant to feedback so giving low volume singers lots of gain genrally isn't a problem, but it's been my experience that most of those singing quietly like it that way. The more I turn'em up the quieter they get, and the more experienced singers won't get quieter but they will start pulling the mic away to compensate.
