Hey man, love your videos! I would just like to point out something you said about the pop filter. Its purpose is to reduce any plosives like P's and B's sound, it doesn't really reduce any sibilance that much or any at all. I'm not a professional by any means but that's just what I've noticed.
Thing is, even using this method, without a 300-400$ mic you will never get your vocal to sit in the mix the same way a studio recording sits in the mix. unless you get lucky. And if you go into a pro-studio and tell the engineer the recording is intended for radio play and is getting released on a major label, they will use the mid/side recording technique. I think the dichotomy I am hearing is actually the difference between a digital and an analog recording. Keep in mind I have gotten my vocals to sound good, but they still lacked that pro-studio sound quality, your vocals on this tutorial sound great, but they are missing that pro-studio sound. You have to record vocals using the mid/side technique, or you can emulate the technique. You have to account for the lack of the parody signal and the fact analog recordings have an almost infinite bandwidth, so you won't get phase cancellation using the same recording for the side, and you won't lose your mono if your stereo separation emulates the 3 to 1 rule... which is roughly 11.27 ms... but you only use the haas effect on the side channel, and remember your side mic is inverted, so you want to invert the delayed channel to get a balanced stereo signal. I use mic room for IK multimedia to generate the side channel. I hope that made sense.

0:10 - The vocals sounds ok:) I think the voice and the vocal performance are also most important!
The vocal performance is super important!\
You are life saving

AWESOMENESS 👌 🙌💯💯💯
When you record doubles, do you only record 1x(centered)
or
Do you record 2- 1X(RIGHT) & 1X(LEFT)?
THX!🙏
Record two! Duplicating one track twice won't give the same results!
Record vocals with a duvet over your head 👍
