Not bad at all man. Couple of suggestions, though: lose the opening sound effects, and remix to lift the vocals. Sounds like you might have been using a simple dynamic mic, and not much of the high range is coming through.

Yeah, I don't have a real good mic for recording vocals. Vocals were done with a SM58 (all I had). Wish I had money for a real nice condenser. :) I wonder if I compress the vocals and raise the level if it would bring that out some. Maybe play around with the EQ-ing a bit.

I'm no sound engineer though.. Those guys really earn the money they make. :)

Prices on condensers have really come down. AKG and others have very good condenser mics for around $100. Here is a good example:
