TAL Vocoder I think is free, and will give you a lot of functionality in the vocoder range. The signal routing for vocoder is actually a really great opportunity to learn some of the more complex functionality of your audio programs. You will have to figure out how to properly set the carrier and modulator within your own DAW. There is also some "auto" vocoding that can happen where TAL provides you some carriers...
