Sound Design / Re: How do I make this sound

There are two possibilities, just from a quick listen through:
1. Synth lead (probably a monophonic saw wave with some portamento) + Vocoder and Human Voice
2. Synth Lead (as above) + Formant Filters.
In either case, you want to impart the spectral quality of the human voice by using some filtering that imparts the shape of human vowel sounds onto a source sound - in this case, a synthesizer lead. Most DAWs have a built in vocoder, so you could experiment by recording yourself going "Oooh" and "yeah" and "Woah" and whatnot to get the formants you want, or you could use a third party formant filter like sugarbytes Wow, or the KiloHearts formant filter (or just draw your own - look up formant EQ curves and experiment!) and achieve a result that I believe is what was actually used. But vocoding might still be fun.
