Not sure if this information is of any use to anyone, but I did some work on a file for a member and for some reason the voices were very high pitched. They sounded like the old style Punch and Judy shows
In order to try and make them sound more human I decided to lower the pitch of them and in my opinion it helped. I had never done this before and was surprised how easy it was in Audition, with quite a lot of options.
I am sure there are many more sophisticated ways of dealing with such issue known to the experts on here, but thought I would mention it anyway.
I do the same things sometimes as well as slow down the audio. I do this by adjusting the sample rate (not converting the sample rate) versus using the program's normal speed adjustment tool. For some reason changing the sample rate is far better than simply changing the speed. Even just changing a file from 48hz down to 44.1hz can make a big difference.
I also layer the files sometimes. I'll have 4 tracks of the same clip and I'll move each one of them up by .0002 ahead of each other. Sometimes it makes the audio a little thicker and easier to hear what they are saying. Sometimes I will do the same layering but change the pitch to each track by increasing or decreasing each track by .01 or -.01
I'm really interested in Audition but don't really want to spend that much money for their monthly subscriptions.

Thanks very much for the contribution, very interesting.
As for Adobe's monthly fees there are ways to reduce them. First by claiming to have a dependent in full time education, even if you don't have one, as they don't ask for much in the way of proof. Second is to halve that cost by sharing with someone, as the subscription allows two user to be active at the same time. Message me if you want more info.
Another thing worth mentioning is the other apps. Two I use a lot are Premiere Pro and Photoshop for video editing and photography. A lot of the apps also work together as well. For example, you can edit a video in Premiere Pro and while doing so use Audition to adjust the video's sound track, such as doing some noise reduction.
