Isolating vocal frequencies is a bitch, especially if the song is already mixed. There is no perfectly clean way to do this once it is mixed down, since there are so many frequency variations in a person's voice...the singer in my band has a range from 300hz to about 4khz...that's where the problem is, 300hz to 4khz is a HUGE range...some of the bass guitar, some kick drum, most snare drum and most guitar frequencies are also in this range...trying to EQ the vocals out and keep the music sounding decent is something that's pretty much impossible.

Get Cool Edit Pro and/or Sound Forge, there are some scientific filters and some pretty high tech EQing, particularly the parametric and paragraphic EQ...I used the parametric EQ recently to take the ring out of a snare drum. Don't expect much, though...there is no magic filter.
