This is a combination of my intuition and what I've gleaned from working with an NND mixer as well as reading several mixer FAQs:


 * Send unmixed, no effects, raw vocals in .wav format.
 * Send main vocals and harmonies and adlibs separately
 * If there are any particular effect you want to use, indicate them, and be precise, like "I want to use autotune at 1:13" or "Could you do the stutter+slide thing similar to the effect in Reol's cover here at 2:05"
 * If you want to indicate the general mood, too, talk about that, like "I want it with lots of reverb/not much reverb"

Effects and compressor and all that are part of mixing; if you are asking an expert for help, don't try to do their job for them, it's so much more troublesome.
