Vocals in mix

Hi guys, I've always had some problems with vocals in my mixes, I was wondering, what's the secret to really including your vocal tracks in the mix, my vocal tracks sound ok, but sometimes I can't manahe to fit them in the rest of the mix, so they tend to sound "kareoke-like", any tips on this matter? Thanks!

Doubling Lead Vocals?

My friend (bandmate) and I have been debating the fact of doubling vocals in the recording of our songs. As the singer, I like the sound of the doubled vocal because it fattens the sound up a bit and allows for the vocals to cut through and not seem small compared to the other loud instruments. I also think my voice sounds better when doubled rather than with just one track.

Recording vocals on laptop-so much noise coming from within

Hi. So I just bought a new laptop, nothing fancy some simple hp pavilion one. Right now I don't even have a mic plugged in and my empty recordings are choke full of noise. Hell I can even capture my own voice if i talk loud enough to the machine without a mic or any kind of sound input device on. I don't know if that's common but I thought it was very amusing.

Creating power/distance effect in pop-rock vocals

Greetings!
Wanted to ask for advise on a specific vocal recording/mixing technique:
I have noticed that in many pop-rock mixes the way that vocals done in choruses is different from the verses. The vocals sound thicker, powerful, but at the same time - more distant then the verse. An example would be "Who knew" by Pink.
Does anybody know how this is done?
