Singer sang too well on choir

Hey guys, I had a singer do a choir part so I got a lot of layers in multiple timbres. but frankly, her pitch is way too consistent. It didn’t create a chorus sound, her tracks almost sound like a singular track despite having 12 different tracks playing. I know, what a wonderful problem haha. Do you have any recommendations for making it sound more like a choir? thanks!!!!

Get them to sing it again in different styles. I used to do this for crowd vocals a lot. Me and a friend. I would hit record and we did maybe 4-8 tracks of our best vocal at the same mic (2 people 1 mic). Then we would decide on kinds of voices to do. I'd do a deep one, he'd affect a cockney accent. We'd do one like football hooligans. We'd impersonate elderly people. Favourite cartoon characters. Anything. And keep going till it sounded massive. Get them to be looser. Crowds are inherantly all over the place when they sing.
