For vocal compression I'd use a ratio of something like 2 and drop the threshold down til it's triggering a few db of gain reduction for each word. Crank the makeup if you need some more volume.
I use a saturator on essentially all vocal tracks I'm mixing. Just real subtle. Make a huge difference.
Then play with a tight reverb with like 20-80 wet-dry.
I usually get artists to record three takes over the top of each other too. That way you can either stack two dropping the volume of one slightly or use all three with two tracks panned hard left and hard right. The latter is a technique a lot of the bigger sound cloud artists use(ig. suicide boys). It gives a lot of width and covers up pretty much all the mistakes you make.
EQ just low cut @ 100Hz. Subtle boosts in the highs can make a big difference for clarity. Especially if you're not using a saturator.
If you want to get fancy sweep for harsh resonating frequencies and do a really precise cut.
Do all that and your vox should sound better than majority of people on soundcloud. Experiment and play around. Theres an endless supply of reading material for this stuff. Stick at it. It's a good hobby.
