I hear a little bit of the old BG 1&2 Sarevok in there, but through no fault of your own the VA for BG 3 Sarevok is disgraceful, and too raspy to attach the original AI to. I am currently working on a solution for that.
Oh thank goodness. Haven't picked up Minsc and met Viconia/Sarevok yet in my latest playthrough, but I used to skip the dialogue. Matthew Mercer did a great job with Minsc...but I want BG1/2 Minsc/Viconia/Sarevok back.
I always wished the voice actor for Viconia in BG3 had done a better job trying to match the way the original voice sounded. The ones for Jaheira and Minsc did an admirable job....but Viconia's just throws me for a loop everytime.
Personally, I also have to praise Jaheira. I practically couldn't tell the difference between the old and new voice actors. But Minsc... Jim Cummings cannot be replaced. His voice is too unique.
Compared to Sarevok from the previous games, he doesn't sound as emotional and aggressive, but I guess that can be understood, since this Sarevok is already more than 100 years old. Ironically, the fact that you didn't make his voice completely accurate made it sound much more authentic. Personally, I am completely satisfied.
I think it would be better to use the voice of the Mauler Twins from Invincible. Kevin Michael Richardson voice here doesn't sound as deep as usual, so it should be easier to use for Redd Pepper's way of speaking.
It's more so on the VA Redd Pepper's way of speaking that seems to cause issues, tested other voice models applied to his, they all seem to make the same noises. I'll probably re-attempt again later.

Thank you so much!
I know the new one is pretty good, but it's still not the same.

Sarevoks voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson, plays the voice of Principal Lewis on American Dad, and sounds very similar to Sarevok.
These might aid if you wanted to tweak those voices specifically.
What you have sounds great! Appreciate your work on this!!!

Could you show an example? Maybe it's not as bad as you think...
It is true that in BG he is quite a loudmouth...
How much voice recording do you need to synthesize a decent voice?
