I always tell quiet singers - Kiss the mic! Seriously, I want your lips touching it!

Which is a technique I use as well, but you'll still need to deal with those that cup, those that hold the mic sideways, sing 2' from the mic, point the mic at the monitors,etc. One thing I do has already been mentioned, turn down the monitor.
 
One other thing I do that has worked very well on a noisey stage is to use a mic with good side and back rejection (PR-35 or equal), and turn/move the monitor(s) more to the side of the vocalist. Even a slight change from a straight back position will help.

I did a gig for Otis Elevator once. Like every job, it had it's ups and downs.

If you're running a stereo mix, bringing the vocalist center stage with the other instruments panned left and right can have the effect of highlighting the vocals.

Please go to your profile and change the "Name" field to your real first and last name as required by the posting rules displayed in the header at the top of the section, and in the Site Rules and Suggestions in the Forum Announcements section, and on the registration page when you registered.
