I had success with the following parameters.. (bearing in mind, I’m an audio novice.

1. Boosted lower mids
2. Reduced the high end curve

That cut down the raspy quality, so I applied to file. At that point, I had bassy audio. So I needed to add back some dynamic to the voice.

In Soundbooth, there is an Effects Rack Setting called “Voice: Male 1” which includes a EQ: Graphic & Dynamics settings

The EQ Graphic does the following on a four panel EQ

Drops LOW by -2db
Drops LOW-MID by -5db
Bumps up HIGH-MID by 5db
Keep HIGH the same

Dynamics does the following:

LIMITER
Threshold: -4.8db
Ratio: 23.9
Attack: 0.0ms
Release: 100ms

COMPRESSOR
Threshold: -30.0db
Ratio: 5.9
Attack: 10.0ms
Release: 100ms

GATE/EXPANDER
Threshold: -120.0db
Ratio: 30.0
Attack: 500.0ms
Release: 1000ms

GAIN
Output Gain: 4.2db

I was pretty happy with the way it sounded at that point.
