What do you mean? Chorus as in a group of singers? Record them in stereo and do it well.

Use a lot of panning.

Depends what you want. Have no idea what software and plugins you already have, or if you're using hardware FX. Panning is important, obviously. One plugin I use is VFX Free Outsider. It's some kind of 'phase modifier' that affects the stereo. I use it for making people's voices sound like they are outside. In a garden, for instance.
Or try a rotary speaker effect. Like I say, if people know what tools you have available, it'll be easier to tell you what can be done.

When you say "chorus", are you talking about a choir, or the chorus effect that makes things sound shimmery,
If you are talking about recording a choir, use at least two microphones spaced apart and pan them wide.
If you are talking about the effect, the easiest way is to use a chorus plugin. A delay plugin will work too, if you set the delay between 10ms and 35ms, add modulation. for a stereo chorus, just pan the delayed and modulated signal to ones side. if you have a dual delay, set the delay on in side different than the other with the dry signal up the middle.

Short delays? You still haven't answered everyone's question: when you say "chorus", are you talking about the effect, the part of the song, or an actual choir?

This is a ambiguous question.. :s
I have one tricky treatment to get good stereo effect for mono track. I prefer not use haax effect for stereo effect. I prefer to copy other section in the song, for example, guitar in verse 2, the I copy and paste right beside verse 1 (notes : same riff) then panning hard to left and to right. Yeah, this trick not applicable to every songs.
Sorry for my very bad english

that is what I would do as well, assuming I couldn't just have the part performed twice.This is a ambiguous question.. :s

You've still not given anyone any idea what in the hell you are talking about, as I assume you did not take the time out of your day to actually read what the other people are asking you, and help them help you by being a little more thorough....HOWEVER, I listened to a blip of that vid you posted and I will go ahead and ASSume you are talking about the vocals in the chorus and how to make them stereo?
There are a whole bunch of very simple ways in achieving this. Some that sound good, some that sound cheesy and some that are just plain ineffective...
The best way imo: track the vocal three times as identically as you can. Pan the strongest one center, and the other two hard r/l
Another pretty decent way: track the vocal twice as identically as you can. Pan the strongest one center. Put an "auto-doubler" in stereo mode on the other one and blend it underneath the center track.
A lazy and useless way: Put an auto doubler in stereo mode on your lead vocal. This will put your original vocal on one side and the auto-generated double on the other side. This results in a big hole in the middle which is why I call it useless for a lead vocal. This works just fine though if you have another lead vocal recorded separately and panned center without the doubler effect (as described above).
A cheesy/ultra lazy way imo: Bus your lead vocal to a stereo chorus effect

Haha with home music production, there always questions in the 'answers'. And there is no right or wrong answer for most things. If your track is mono, oyu can copy it, and slighly shift if a couple milliseconds before or after the original. gives you a little sense of depth, more than before at least.

If only for a moment.....
If people know what's actually being asked, maybe they can help ?
Q;Why did the chicken cross the road ?
A;Salad.
I confess ! I paid the OP to bamboozle us with the mysteries of Anubis.....and he ran off with my stereo !
What effect can expect from people expected to answer a question you haven't made clear ?
Answer the question, dammit !
So you'd like us to tell you what you did on something you can't remember ?
Ooo~kaaaay......
And if you check it out, they never did....
You say this is what you were asking for, "the effect". I beg to differ ! But let us know if any of them worked. You've been mysterious at every point since May.
If English isn't your main language that's not a problem, but help us by trying to let us know what you're looking for.
There's especially no right or wrong answers to a question that is neither right, wrong or non existent.
