Which sounds better but the problem is I have 3 mins of vocal all with different eq problems practically on every phrase.
Can you think how I could have gotten these errors?
I was about 8 inches away from the mic with a pop shield.
Thanks

Resonance occurs due to the geometry and materials of the "instrument". Be it a voice in room or a string on a violin, if the sound is off then things must change.
If necessary you can eq each phrase. EQ is never the ideal solution because it is fixing a problem. Ideally you do not want the problem in the first place(since EQ'ing is not an exact science).
As Stu suggests, redo the vocals if you can.
1. Use the proper mic. Condensers are not always best. Try different mics.
2. Use proper mic placement. The middle of the room is almost always bad as is being close to a corner.
3. The less of the room you want to capture the more you will have to deaden it. A dead room isn't necessarily great but better than one that is to alive or has major issues.
4. Make sure you sing properly. Certain vowel sounds can make some things sound worse than others. Mic technique is also crucial here.
5. Take multiple takes. You can cut and paste the best phrases like the pro's do.
6. All in all, use your head. If something isn't sounding right then it's wrong. Spend a little time thinking about what is wrong and try to fix it(which sometimes is just trying something different).
