Duly noted but I don't think that I'll change my format for now or in the far future as this setup is what my clients prefer over minimalist effects. Vile Egression or Minimalist, there should be a balance between filter and clarity and I believe when it comes to dealing with the protoss and the zerg voices, and all of my clients aswell believe, that I have achieved a perfect equilibrium to it.
I disagree with your second paragraph though. Ideally, you will apply a minimum of two filters. BUT then layer the initial compressed unfiltered recording on top of all the filters to give clarity a boost. You should try that out. Works wonders! It got me pitched in alot of roles when I did that one.
Ah, if you guys are referring to my post, I apologize. It was around 2AM when I typed that and I guess it slipped my mind. But if not, I'll gladly post the process of how I achieved that voice regardless. Might be of great help to everyone!
The Program I used is Adobe Audition CS6.
Zealot Filter:
After recording and cleaning up the sample, make a second copy and lower said copy's pitch by 10%.
Mix the original and the second copy together then apply a chorus effect of your choosing. I find that a chorus with tight delay and spread with a thickness of 2 voices is perfect.
Compress, normalize, then add the reversed reverb effect.
Dragoon Filter:
After recording and cleaning up the sample, make a second copy and lower said copy's pitch by 10%.
Mix the original and the second copy together.
Apply an Echo filter with a Decay of 66%, Delay of 31 miliseconds, and the Echo Volume at 70%.
Apply a second Echo Filter with a Decay of 73%, Delay of 2.4 miliseconds, and an Echo Volume of 61%.
Compress, normalize, then add the reversed reverb effect.
You may need to do a second round of clean up since the compression might make the dithering noise louder to the point that its audible. Or if compression isn't your thing, you can just skip that and head on to normalizing it and adding the reverb.
I'm not entirely sure if the Vanguard Leader is a zealot but I imagined him as a zealot regardless. You definitely got the aggressiveness of the zealot but it sort of lacked with the filters. Then again, filters are basically aesthetics but it does help to improve upon them.
Your ambassador was spot on, though. I really liked that one. It has that leader kind of tone to his voice which is very suiting for a protoss and an ambassador.

I did my own take with filters that I think would sound great if you applied them on your voice. https://instaud.io/private/2ff530eb76d33dc7e504a4436f77c7d1fd5507b1 https://instaud.io/private/0d6edec0ed25b0856a8754d57097de24c34071c9
Same with the dragoon. It sounded like he's not inside a metal casing. Some really tight echo layered on top of a slightly loose yet still tight echo might do the trick. https://instaud.io/private/6eb1596a039f795b11863d4f36f38aa029303b23
