Where did you mix it ? PC ? or outboard gear (ADAT, Mixer, rack units, etc...) ? I do it most with PC, here's my two cents... start by visualizing (audiolizing?) in your mind the vocal sound you are trying to get. I have no idea what that is, or what type of music performance you are trying to capture.
but shooting in the dark, I would start with maybe some compression, try Plug ins from Waves, they have a nice dynamics package with very useful presets. some dynamics or compression processing will help smooth out the vocal to a more even professional sound.
consider doubling-up your tracks, and panning to the outside of your L,R channels. it's best if you record 2 passes, but if you're lazy copy one and offset it a bit to get a doubling effect.
I have yet to find a good sounding software reverb plugin that isn't hideously expensive, or has some obtuse engineer interface. But if you work the Cakewalk FX reverb plugins (v2 is better) you might be able to get something acceptable, if it's a subtle effect.
But if you want that professional rich deep reverb effect like Tony Bennett I'm not sure you'll find it at this pricepoint. Maybe consider an outboard rack unit ala Lexicon.
But remember, the number one mistake made by beginning recordists is adding too much reverb. Here are some general tips that may help you:
1. Use less reverb.
2. Lengthen the pre-delay on your reverb. Often the reverb will walk all over the dry signal and wash it out. By putting a lengthening the pre-delay (the time that elapses between the original sound when the reverb starts) you allow the dry signal to sneak through and sound more present before the reverb starts. If you reverb doesn't have a pre-delay control, you should try and get one that does. TC Natives are cool to try. There are also some free ones out there.
3. Use a 'spreader'. You can do this with digital delay, but I prefer to do it this way: Record one main vocal track. Then record another track singing the exact same thing. Now take that second track and drag copy it onto a third track. Slide the third track forward 5 ticks. Slide the second track backward 5 or so ticks. Now pan those two tracks hard L and R and turn their volumes down so that they are just perceptable in the mix. Now you have a main vocal track down the center and a very subtle chorusing effect that really spreads the vocal out. I often EQ the spreader tracks with a little extra highs and less mids than the main track, and add chorus to them.
