Henry has heaps of experience and it shows in his music. Where this tutorial falls a little short is apparent in the 1st seconds and carries through to the end: his voice recording is full of room sound. I usually turn off when someone is talking about recording but fails to record their voice/narration/voice-over correctly. I persisted because this is Henry & I know he can do better. It's ironic that he actually talks about just this problem. After that his insistence on a DAW is misleading. It's what works for him BUT plenty of people do pro sounding vocal recording to tape, to stand alone HDD/SD/RWCD etc. devices. Access to a long & varied effects chain is probably why Henry's enarmoured of a DAW for vocals but many "stand alone" machines have these - though "tuning" is probably not available on a note by note basis. After 5.15 he talks about very complex things "vocals sit nicely", EQ Carving" etc. without explaining them or linking to a video/article/chart that does. Reference tracks are useful IF trying to sound like something else...the Reaper Frequency Matcher *takes that a step further and is well worth looking into for treating a single instrument, a vocal track OR a full mix. I suppose this is more an advertisement for Henry's channel and the many, varied and detailed tutorials he provides there.
* This free JS Reaper VST allows one to get an EQ/gain/dynamics etc. profile of a user's song or individual track. The users does the same with a reference song or track, (access to isolated tracks from classic songs is pretty easy to come by these days), and saves that as a preset. The reference preset can be open in the VST on the user's track and then "correction" applied. This can give a vocal some David Bowie nuance, a guitar some Mark Knofler tonality or a mix the overall mastered sound of Pink Floyd etc. Mileage may vary but, in general good quality reference tracks help achieve the best results.
