The compression came from shrinking the shots down in Paint Brush. I'm not gifted with Photoshop skills.
Start asking stations if they need a board op (board operator). That's the first step for any radio career. Listen and learn the format of that type of station you'd like to work at. Start recording yourself doing similar things to what you hear on air, but make sure you're doing it in your own personality. Check out web sites that sell automation software and download a demo to see how it works. Almost all radio is done with automation software.
Always remember, you may have an audience of thousands, but you're only talking to one person at a time. I used to keep a sign at the previous station I worked at that said, "Entertaining America - One Person At A Time". Keep it personal, be bright.
However, in 7 hours, I'll be an unemployed ex radio bum grad student. So take that for what it's worth.
