to the op.

gee whizz there is so much that could be said by so many people on this topic.
so i'll just suggest a couple of ideas.
(above all have FUN per Dr PG. i would add self doubt is your enemy.)

1..experiment with different vocal styles depending on what the song genre calls for.
for example the songs in my sig...some are british east london my birthplace, others are country, others are rock, others ballad etc etc....as a result of working in lots of different countries.
my whole objective is to have lots of fun with different vocal genres.
so also experiment outside your comfort zone.
2..doubling is your friend. i use it a lot as do many people..
(see songs in my sig).
3..dont be afraid to fail and also realise as we age your going to
probably lose your upper vocal register.
thus compensate as best you can.
4..try vocal comping...ie as rharv said record a few voc tracks..
choose the best bits and create a final voc track.
repeat process for doubling.
note...sometimes little imperfections in the vocs actually work.

(ps i personally dont use autotune. dont believe in it.
i far prefer to work till i get the vocs how i want.)

and thats it from me. just some ideas...hth//ymmv etc etc.

lots of further info on the net.

wish you every success.
ADDENDUM.
forgot...before going crazy on free and paid plugins imho pg's own dx plugins should be tested. most all the songs in my sig used them only.
there also a bunch of free plugins ive mentioned in the pg tips forum which i like
because they dont consume lots of pc resources just like the pg plugins. note in particular the free airwindows plugins. links provided.
