Mixing & Mastering Female Vocals

Hi everyone,
I've spent months online looking at mixing and mastering videos for vocals but I would really like to get some feedback on whether I'm on the right track or not. I'm fairly new to producing but eager to work hard.
Generally, the only things I use when mixing vocals are EQ, reverb, compression, and (rarely) a little bit of delay.
Below is a vocal track I mixed and mastered.
Appreciate your time!

Hi Knova,

This is sounding pretty great! So, a few things I would do:
- For female vocals that are in the upper frequencies, I would look into parallel compressing the vocals in order to give it just a little more weight and presence. There are some pretty good youtube tutorials on how to do this
- On the same concept, you might want to look into some EQ cuts on the beat. I would look to see which frequency range the female vocals sound best and instead of just boosting these, I would cut these from the beat so that sweet spot of the girl's voice fits in better.
- I hear some "pops" on the vocals, which is fine and normal. I would go through the vocal track and manually automate/lower the volume of the pops themselves.

Sounds great overall! Well done
