You may find the issue is not that you need to normalize an audio file, which changes the file's volume level, but instead need to make the waveform height bigger so the waveform display occupies more of the track height.

Some DAWs have a feature that allows a user to change the apparent displayed waveform height in a track without changing any waveform values. Both Audacity and Cakewalk by Bandlab make the display change by allowing the user to change a track's volume scale. Cakewalk also has a maximize waveform height command.
