rdfuze is an unknown quantity at this point
no freq vocal.

i am recording a vocalist who has such a small frequency to her voice, it seems all to lie in the 800khz to 5k range..no lows and no air highs...any suggestion to make it feel stronger frequency wise..

Hmm

Make her do harmonies of her voice. Up and down an octave etc. If she can't make your own harmonizer track and blend it in just a little.

What I've done before is place main vox center, and pan different effects and/or harmonies left and right.

On parts you need to be stronger (eg chorus,) do what Mutt Lang has done so many times --- use a synth to back it up. Some nice triangle wavey stuff or stuff with a nice harmonic. Add reverb.

Perhaps EQ up above 15k just a tad to try to get breathing sounds in... Compress.

Let's hear some of it...

One solution would be to add a very short, very diffused reverb and EQ from there. If it still doesn't make the voice fat enough compress the vocal with the reverb with a zero or near-zero attack and a release that's in time with the song.
