Thing is, the microphones always catch my breathing which is kind of heavy.
The Rode M5 come with windshields, which I haven't tried yet, but I saw many recordings including this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVhwkkgW50 and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeoDvJPipxw which don't use them.
I'd like to know also if anyone tried with any vsti to solve this and your experiencies.

Any ideas?
I've recorded heavy breathers who wear surgical or particle masks when in front of the mic(s). It helps them breath slower and quieter. You could also try a pair of figure-8 mics position so that your mouth is in the null of each.
