If someone with a more beautiful voice is available, he should perform the adhan, and the remuneration should be allocated to the mosque's affairs. If no one else is available, there is no harm in him undertaking the adhan. Raising his voice is recommended, and if his voice is pleasant, it does not invalidate the adhan.
