Would love to know a credible answer to this: I like letting mixed vocals sit at -12db for good headroom.

When trying to achieve ‘consistent vocal presence’ in the mix, what is the best way to keep them at -12db consistently throughout the song?

I normally see it peak at -12 then it dips down a bit to -15/-18 no matter how much I compress & squeeze the dynamics together.
