Boosting in the 1–2kHz range lends a rather honky, cheap sound to the vocals and so is not recommended, unless you’re using it as a special effect. Try to keep vocals as flat as possible

Presence can be added with just a little boost at 3–4kHz, but be careful or the sound may become harsh

several backing vocals then rolling off a touch of bass might help the vocal to sit better in the mix without sounding muddy

Double tracking is a popular treatment for adding depth to a voice
