Ah, that would be the old 'backing singer' effect.

Don't be mad at me. I've made a career of this and I plan to keep it going. Unfortunately, due to my area, I have to deal with both very talented and very UNtalented individuals... most of both of those categories still want autotuning and chopped and screwed vocals. I love recording true talent and I recognize it when I see and/or hear it. To reclarify (probably should have edited the post) popular hip-hop/rap and techno-pop talent these days... and to be sure that there's no misunderstanding... Lil Wayne, Ke$ha, Gucci Mane, Flo Rida (whom I haven't recorded) and countless others that I have personally recorded that you thankfully haven't heard.
Someone that I have recorded with a lot of talent is Shaheen Jafargholi (Michael Jackson Tribute, Britain's Got Talent) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tniSz2FB-Kc
The kid's great. Unfortunately the producer ordered me to autotune him... although he didn't really need it.
So... now that we are on the same page, and before you go telling me to switch careers again, please be aware that I enjoy my job, and like a lot of us... I don't enjoy some of my clients. But work is work, and it pays my bills.
Now.. can we get this thread back on topic and finish analyzing the OPs original youtube link?

Work is work you are indeed correct. I'm from the uk and to have a job at the moment is a novelty!!! lol
Anyway, as you said back on subject!!!
Main part of it is heavy limitting, autotune, vocalign, pitchshifted/octaved harmonies, and perhaps even a small touch of vocoding in there too for good measure. Its pretty much saturated with effects.
My vote would be to mess around with it!
You can also get choir simulators, if you use them at extreme settings then they should be pretty good instead of your octave/pitshifted effects.
And then just autotune the f*** out of it

Might I recommend instead of switching careers that you might consider working on a switch of job titles? The industry can use more producers that can recognize, develop, and produce real talent without throwing CPU cycles at it just because that's "the thing" to do these days.
There's no shortage of engineers these days that complain about artists and producers that want to screw up otherwise perfectly good recordings by over-processing them (I'm one of them
), but an apparent paucity of us willing to take the next step to rectifying that by getting into producing some recordings ourselves in the way they know (from being on the front lines behind the glass) the talent can be best showcased.G.
