good vocal mixing? i need a start.

ive been listening to some albums and I'm so jealous of how they get mixed. i hear these vocals that are just soooo clear and sound like they are in the room with you. to be specific, I'm stuck on chevelles newest CD. at any rate, not long ago i started mixing and ive been playing with different effects to bring the vocals out and make them clearer.

tips on creating very present/dynamic vocal sound in a mix

Im looking for that very expensive vocal sound in the mix, used on many records you hear on the radio. I have the equipment that should take me there. I have 2x 4040s and a Marshall electronics tube condenser with nice preamps. Any VST plugins or other tips to make the vocals sound right in your face with a very full/present sound. thanks
