Get a more distinguishable sound with vocoder

[sirkzz]

I was wondering if there was a way to make the words said through the vocoder more distinguishable without taking away the synth sound?

The less filtering and the more buzzy waveforms you use (saws), the better.

If you want to get your voice exactly but pitched to each key, you're going to need Auto-tune or Melodyne, not a vocoder.
