There is a feature built into RB and PT that allows 'category' FX.

Right click your vocal track (the track name area of the Tracks window) and select the male vocal or female vocal category FX.
These were designed to give beginners a starting point for FX often used on different audio tracks.

A quick read-thru of the Audiominds recording web site would also be a good source of information. There are explanations of compression, reverb and EQ there that are very easy to follow and understand.

The page on compression is here-
