Another good "coloring" for vocals is a slight delay, which can be panned with or separate from the vocal. I almost always pan harmonies (at least slightly), too.

So carving out space (ie stereo image) and/or bandwidth (ie EQ) is necessary. Like a lot of you, I'll leave lead vocals, stereo drums and bass centered and distribute everything around left and right. I'll probably use a high pass filter on a harmony or BGV bus since I don't need those frequencies. I'll probably compress the BGVs a bit so they sit in the mix better.

The list goes on...

Thanks Ron for these useful tips!
