I used to think vocal ambience (reverbs and delays) were an either or choice.
Either have reverb on the vocal or not. Either have a long or short delay.

Much like a story arc that has a beginning, middle, and end, vocal reverbs and delays can evolve throughout the course of a song and help bring the listener deeper in.
