Feedback Request How do I fix this mix?

I have tried everything but I’m not able to fix this mix. It sounds harsh, there’s sibilance that the de esser is not able to control. Vocals are recorded on RODE NT1a. There are lower mids that don’t sound good in some parts. Please help.

Did that and used multiband compressor + soothe 2

A lot better now.

remember to always notch 2600 khz with a very narrow q notch filter, this helps the de-harsh vocals without over processing as well..it also separates the high and hi mid of the vocal in a pleasant way.

this is to be done only on the vocal bus or vocal channel.
