I would appreciate an audio quality assessment of these three files, thanks.

Absolutely, Kenny.
Wheel: Clipped at 0:17. Also, I heard a strange noise behind "technology" at 0:47
Children: Mouth clicks 0:24-0:27 and it sounds less bright than the previous one, not sure if that was your intention.
MYCELX: Some sound reflections "But" at 0:14, "TYpical" at 0:33, and "OR" at 1:03; I've also picked up a loud breath at 0:40. Got the same impression about the brightness, compared to "Wheel". This one sounds a bit more opaque in my opinion (not that it is necessarily a negative remark), however, it does sound as different plugins were used.
Hello Kenny, having been a sound engineer for 27 years in a leading post production studio in London, I feel reasonably well qualified to assess your sound. Having recorded literally thousands of voices over my years, each voice had its own traits. For example, some had more mid range voice others not so. The other thing is, they were human and as humans they were prone to have the odd mouth click or breath. Generally, these could be removed in the edit if necessary. Often if it were a stand alone voice over, I would keep breaths in, as the read would sound unnatural without them. If they were a little intrusive, I would cut the start of the breath and put a little fade up on it, so it would still sound like an intake of breath but less intrusive. I believe that Voice Bunny will only be happy if everyone read like automatons without any human qualities. As I am sure you are aware, I find this rather peculiar but then, who am I? Frankly, I believe your voice reads were very acceptable. Yes, perhaps one read varied in style to another and that would alter the natural dynamics of the read but again, perfectly normal and very human.I know that Oscar monitors using headphones. Personally, I don't regard that as the ideal monitoring vehicle.
