This is absolutely the best first way, especially if the vocal is inconsistent. Even if it's just a general balancing of volume through a part to reduce overly loud or quiet parts.There is no shortcut. You need to do volume automation by hand. You can't just automate everything and expect it to be great.
You can of course crush it to death with something like OTT or a complex convoluted chain of multiple compressors but that's not going to be the best way to do it in terms of audio quality. I know, I know.. shocking. You need to actually do some manual labor.
Better still if you have patience to get detailed, you can really make a vocal magic.
And then an LA2A is a good place to start. (Unless you need some corrective EQ which you can do first and perhaps again after compressing)
