Thin vocals usually result from a lack of low-mid frequencies (\(100\text{--}250\text{ Hz}\)), caused by improper mic technique (too far away), poor room acoustics, over-filtering (aggressive high-pass filters), or thin vocal technique. Key fixes include moving closer to the microphone for the proximity effect, boosting \(200\text{ Hz}\) with EQ, or using saturation/compression to add body.
