One thing I've found works pretty well to give the vocal a bit more presence on these vocal/guitar only songs, is to record one vocal in mono, copy it to a second track but slightly off in timing, a few microseconds. pan one full left and one full right. it's less noticable than doubling or chorus, but it still helps the voice stand out from the guitar.

Thanks, Ant. I am going to try recording with a metronome from now on. I just recorded a new one yesterday and used a metronome; it took me forever to get used to it, but it helps avoid the tempo problems.

It's odd what you heard in the vocal because I did exactly what you suggested in your second paragraph. I did not use a chorus effect and I didn't even add a delay to one of the vocals, just copied it to a second track to add more depth. So, I'm not sure what happened.
