According to what my ears tell me, the problems with the presenter's
voice in these videos are just the result of using effects where you
shouldn't. Just forget about compression, deessing, reverb etc. None
of that is needed. We've had perfect voice presentation (e.g. on radio)
decades before any of those effects even existed.   

Just make sure you have a more or less correct level, eventually use
a highpass or LF shelf filter to correct the mic response if you're
talking close to it. If you're a perfectionist use a peak limiter,
ensuring it doesn't do anything most of the time. All the rest is
nonsense.
