unfortunately, my voice is not suitable for radio announce... in fact i think it's terrible... but anyway, i tried to do the best i can with the music.
i used a lot of my new flexor stuff: monobass, hypersweeper, the "ultimate detune patch" (i cant remember its name), waveshapers (saturation modules) on drums and voice
how is it??

if you're not comfortable with your voice, why not try whispering into the mic and then compressing the hell out of it. Also, it sounded like the voice could use a reverb or some sort of spacializing effect. Stereo chorus will make it more audible in the mix. (it's quite clear as it is tho)

whispering in the mic and then compressing is a great tip! i will try it and perhaps use it in my next heavy metal release!

quite impressive if you ask me, congrats!
just the mix could benefit from some reverbs and delays, on voice (like Ken says), and on drums.
There's little 'room' in the sound, while the type of 'song' asks for it.
cheerz

I agree with Ken about some more space to your voice...

I don't think your voice sounds bad... at all... Stop believing it! Take away your fear of not sounding well, and this will just be the perfect take.

Something is clear to me, you did it with joy and you love your friend. The song feels like it...

The music for presenting a radio program is just ideal.

voice sounded ok to me, but yes it could do with some heavy fx to give it more space. Also you might want to consider a "ducking" effect so that when they voice drops in, the rest of the music lowers in volume. (you can do this with a compressor with a sidechain option, or you could do it manually with volume fades of course)
