hi, have you already tried something along the lines of reverse reverb? that may take away some of the distractions that make the vocals sound low in the recording.

I want to bring the vocals out... they sound like they are in a large concert hall... super quiet compared to the background. Any suggestions for doing this? Is there a specific effect someone has used that really works to bring out the human voice spectrum when the human voices are recorded really low?
