Personally I don’t know of any specific research but afaik the reason why our voices sound terrible to us when recorded is because they’re missing the bass that’s transmitted through the skull, i.e. they sound higher pitched on recording. So I’d try increasing the amplitude of the lower frequencies on the EQ, it’ll take a bit of fiddling to get the right balance.
