Unless your voice is particularly bassy there are a couple of things you can
do to try and improve things.

First things first though. How does the K2 sound to you on receive? Do you
feel there is a lack of high end audio when using the widest audio filter
setting? If the audio sounds ok to you, it might not be a problem with your radio.

One of the simplest things you could try (if you feel it is your radio) is to
adjust the audio filters. Alter the settings to move the upper end of the
trace shown in Spectograph towards the higher frequencies. A previous message
on this list mentioned that "if you key the transmitter in CAL FIL mode, at
least for an SSB FL1 filter, the signal is looped back to the receive side,
through the filter". That could allow you a way to adjust the filter settings 
while listening to your own voice to see for yourself if it sounds bassy.
