There are a few things that will bring out the worst in those of us who have been around here for a while. I'm far from a "pro", but I think I know what I don't know.

Without hearing the track, "too close up" sounds like you need some reverb - early reflections, specifically. You don't need something with a "wet" sound to add space to your vocal.

FYI - here's a choral recording - about 75 singers in a circle - obviously a live performance. A pair of ECM8000 mics is all that was used on this track.
