Good job, guy

Just like you can read all over the web, if you set the pitch correction too high the voice become robotic, "do you believe in life after love". Otherwise, the Mechanic is very smooth: good EQ, light compression. Reverb and echo are good too. Perhaps the pots are too much sensitive: sometimes (on echo effect) you'd like less echo, but the pot is already quite fully anti-clockwise.
