Doubling like that will cause possible nasty sounding phase cancellations in mono, or a fake stereo image. Nice creative idea, but it's just not the most efficient way of trying to improve presence.

Propper mic placement, equalization and compression are the key to getting a decent vocal sound. But since there's not 'one' way of getting a good sound, the answer lays in experimentation, and lots of it.
