Hi Andy. This may also be a great way to practice as well. Double your vocals. Sing along with your recorded vocal track as accurately as possible. Keep both panned center but bring down one until it blends to barely perceptible. A light touch of short room or plate reverb with a 20 to 40 ms predelay keeps it crisp and modern. Not the only way just something I would try on a "thin" male vocal. I would also consider using a dynamic mic like an Sm7 so you can sing right on the mic and get some proximity boost. Works good for me. 
Practice is still the best way to improve the sound of your voice.
