If they sound good, leave em as they are & move on to the next track !

1) Could be your recording wasn't up to scratch so try re-recording the vocals. No idea what your environment's like but if it's a budget situ, hang a duvet/doona behind the vocalist's back to deaden any reflections & run some tests so you get good levels into the mic.

2) If the vocals are disappearing as you raise the playback volume, it could be you need to correct anomalies in your monitoring environment. Search this forum for scads of info on bass traps & other room treatment.

3) Try slapping a compressor on the vocal track to even out & raise the levels.

This may sound stupid, but are you using a condensor mic? and if so, are you singing into the correct side of it? I have heard of several instances where people were using the wrong side of the mic. Just thought I would chime in
