When isolated, most vocals will sound slightly off. It's the sound(s) of the other instruments that mask any glitches you hear on the vocal-only track. As for how the author did this. He must have had access to the various stems - there are normally separate tracks for bass/guitar/drums/vocals. And vocals are often not recorded in the main studio but in a vocal booth where the singer is isolated from the 'spill' of the other instruments. Also, the vocal is untreated - i.e no reverb - it's a dry recording. When you add reverb, real or artificial, it gives the voice more depth. You would be surprised at how bad some well-known singers sound without this treatment. At least there's no bloody AutoTune. What you are hearing is pretty much standard for studios. There are very few vocalists who can carry a tune without any form of sound treatment.
