I dont have that plug but a good starting place for vocals is:

Threshold -6 to -10db. The lower you go more of the entire sound is compressed. Dont go too low or you will start to bring the loud parts too close in volume to your noise floor.

Ratio 2:1 to 4:1 the higher the ratio the less dynamic range you will have over all. A higher ratio will give you a warmer, tubey type of sound.

Attack - Fast, around 5-10ms

Release - Slow, around 50-100ms

Play with the attack until it sounds right. Too fast and you get too much breath, too slow and you lose the intial attack of the vocal phrasing.
 
I've had pretty good luck with that program just because it's simple. What I do is start compressing till it starts to sound squashed then back off a hair. Then gate out the noise. It's that easy with Ren. Vox. Try it, it's hard to go wrong.
 
Hey Morton, you know the Ren has presets, don't you? If not, this should demonstrate the value of skimming the manual. Click the Load button and scroll down. There's one labelled "Vocal".

You will still have to set the Threshold as others have described. See where that meter is peaking and set it so it just engages as needed. You probably shouldn't squash the track to death.

You'll probably want to boost the Output fader by something like the reduction figure. See what it reads and try boosting the output by that amount.
