Short answer
Vocal balance issues usually come from a busy instrumental fighting the voice or a prompt that didn't emphasise the vocals. Fix it by asking for vocals to sit forward in the mix, choosing a less dense backing, or using stem separation in Autunes, powered by the Zori models, to adjust the vocal and instrumental levels separately.
If the voice is buried or overpowering, it's a balance problem between the vocal and the backing track.
Prompt for vocals up front, pick a lighter instrumental, or use stem separation to control the levels yourself.
