How do you think anyone could help if the only info you provide is
'my spoken voice' ??
* What is the purpose of the recording (i.e. which quality aspects
matter, which don't, how is the result distributed, ...) ?
* In what circumstances is the recording made (studio, office, living
room, open air, ... ?
* Which microphones (and other equipment) do you have available ?
* Do you have any professional training as a speaker ?
Assuming you have some control over the circumstances and
some decent microphone, very probably you won't need any
plugins at all. I would in any case make the recording that
way, anything needed (maybe a bit of EQ and limiting) can be
applied later anyway.
If you want a professional result, don't try to be the speaker
and the sound engineer/producer at the same time. There are
reasons why these functions are normally separated.
