I typically don't do it... my chorus is often harmonized or double tracked, etc, so I usually record the main verse and chorus and level them reasonably, so when other voc tracks are added, they boost the overall chorus... also seems that a solo chorus voc is either a bit louder or seems louder as the pitch is higher... the tricks above with managing supporting track levels is good advice too.
 
It's your song... you're the producer... if whatever you try sounds good, then use it.  I wouldn't use the same technique on all songs anyway, heck, i rarely use the same techniques on more than a group of songs on, say, the same album.

OK... so in response to Chuck.... yeah, using the word "cheap" was probably a bit over the top..... the word "trick" would have sufficed.
 
As far as the rest.... yeah, I stand by that.  Use dynamics and whatever you need to use to get the desired result.
 
Remember, in this business, nothing is ever wrong unless it clearly is wrong. But as long as it works and appears right, it probably is right.  In other words... Doeth whatever thou wilt as long as it sounds good.
 
As evidenced by other folks likewise worthy commentary, there are many ways to get the desired results.

For what its worth. I listened to your song. I paid close attention to the song structure, the detail and dynamics.
I found it to be well planned out and interesting. not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the techniques used.
it sounded great.
 
I also agree with your sentiment regarding song architecture.
I just believe in experimenting, trying new things to achieve new heights and sounds like you do too.
 
Best
Chuck
