Audition Rejection. Please provide feedback
So, I made a second audition yesterday, and received a request for a revision, and then two separate rejections. Here's my story:
I completed the task and submitted my audio. A short while later, I was asked to revise and resubmit because there was a piece of handling noise at the start. and intrusive breath noises. I listened, and I could hear the handling noise, and my breaths were audible in one place.
Accordingly, I rerecorded, taking very great care to avoid any audible breath at all. After listening several times, I submitted it. It was then rejected for intrusive mouth noises, and electronic/static noises. I have listened to this over and over, on several sets of headphones, on different devices, and I cannot hear either thing. I have attached a link below.
Finally, several hours later, I received ANOTHER rejection email, this time saying that the test project had not been submitted on time. I had submitted my work within an hour of accepting the project, and the revision within an hour of request, both well before any deadline. I have no idea what to take seriously about this feedback and these rejections.

Hello Sam, and welcome to our community!
I'm sorry to hear about that experience with the audition.
I was giving a listen to your sample, and I just wanted to make sure if it is the second or the first one you talked about because, in that file, I can hear at the beginning, just after the word "get", a handling noise that sounds like paper (maybe the printed audition script?).
Also, some faint mouth noises are especially audible at the end, on the phrases "Change the world" and "here to stay", which can be fixed with our tips to keep mouth noises under control.
Kind regards,
Daniel
You're quite right, that was the first take, on which I could hear the slight noise. This was the amended version

Hello again Sam!
I gave the correct file a listen and you are right, there are no static/electronic noises in that file. There are some mouth noises but nothing out of the ordinary, it sounds natural! I don't know if maybe the small click heard at 0:16 just after the word "created" was what caused the rejection (which is a very minor thing, could have been a revision instead).
All in all, I think you have nice audio quality and you should definitely reapply!
Kind regards,
Daniel
