Eh? You want a 'grungy' feel to a voiceover?

Generally, if you want something to sound like a radio DJ, mic it too close to get some proximity warmth, (if not use EQ), then compress the hell out of it. Don't forget to pepper the VO script with unfunny jokes and pointless tiemchecks. That should sound like a radio voice...

Failing that, hire a 'grungy' radio presenter.

You could pull all the top and bottom end out of it - leave the range from 300Hz to 3KHz and it will sound like it's coming through a telephone.

You can also run the vocal through an amp model, slightly overdriven, to dirty it up a little bit.

I'm not sure of the exact sound you're looking for, but this would sound thin and a bit dirty.

You could also mess with the Distortion effect and give it that Trent Reznor sound.
