Lackatee- Big RASpect, and though youre far more experienced ill be droping InI points also.
Emphasize bredrin's points in
wrong mic for the singers voice : InI had to go through a few to find the right one to I deep low voice, and all this recording lately producing others voices found that true more than ever !
compressing your vocals as you track them : This is a key point to half workd ready straight away.
getting a better vocal mic for recording will save yourself some time and frustration in the end- Self explanatory, again emphasized.

I tend to "mono" record voice, rather than Stereo, but about doubling the tracks, adding delay with panning, is more of a matter of taste and style; Though an old trick, continues as efficient as ever, to add field to it !
About Lackatee's and Lion Heart Prod. of adding several layers of pitched signal, id go for being a matter of taste again and style(Spot on on most of Lackatee's style for example: Best example u can get !). Surely works for what Manu asks about deepness in the Voice.
About Lion Heart Prod. of several FX'd Layers
o it careful cuz LFO's fx tend to clash highly !
About the reverb: A lot of people tend to record with reverb, cuz theyd probably been in the studio and thats what they heard..Couldnt be more wrong:Therefore
"its easy to add effects, much more difficult to take them away.." couldnt be more true !
If and when you have the chance, try to have a go at differentsettings for different voices: A voice is like a fingerprint...There aint two the same !
Give thanks
