First, go to Fallout3/data and open the "Fallout - MenuVoices" archive. Find MaleGenericGhoul in the list, and extract all the files.
Find the files you extracted.
The following .ogg files can be deleted, along with any associated .lip files:
followers_followershired_000370b2_1
followers_followersppurity_00070fb0_1
followers_followerstactics_0004082b_1
followers_followerstactics_0004082b_1
followers_followerstactics_0004082c_1
followers_followerstactics_0004082c_1
The first file here relates to Ahzrukhal from Fallout 3, the second to Project Purity, and the remaining files were never used.
Then open "Fallout - Voices" and once again find MaleGenericGhoul, this time just extracting the following files (both .ogg and .lip):
Greeting_00062726
Goodbye_0004bdb8
Goodbye_000a53e5
Goodbye_000a53f4
Hello_0006e8e8
IdleChatter_00089552
IdleChatter_00089553
IdleChatter_00089554
IdleChatter_00089555
IdleChatter_00089556
IdleChatter_00089557
If you find it easier you can extract everything from MaleGenericGhoul as before and then delete everything but these files (remember you want both the .ogg and the .lip.
Next, open your New Vegas directory and go to data/sound/voice/charon.esp/malegenericghoul. This is where the renamed files will go.
The files will all be named something like: followers_followers****_********_1.
For ease of reading I have left out these parts of the filenames leaving only the identifying parts, as it is only the numbers which need to be changed.
For example, "followers_followersFired_0003710a_1" is written below as "Fired_0003710a". Written after each is the new ID number.
The quickest and easiest way I found was to pick each pair of extracted files (voice and lip), move them to the new folder then rename as a pair.
So you would begin by locating: followers_followersFired_0003710a_1.ogg
and followers_followersFired_0003710a_1.lip
and rename them both to: followers_followersFired_00001947_1.
Continue to move and re-number the rest of the files, both .ogg and .lip, according to this list:

So, thats a total of 41 files renamed. You should now have a fully voiced Charon.
Combat and other generic speech is handled by the games existing MaleGenericGhoul files, hopefully this will blend in reasonably well.
