I had a listen to your audio and there were a few things to mention. At the very start of the audio, there is loud white noise heard, which then stops. Repaced with sound artifacts being picked up, this is most likely down to you using a noise reduction plugin. It's understandable that you want to get rid of the white noise in your recordings, however, it does sounds over-processed and greatly affects the quality of your audio. We would recommend that you first address where the white noise could be coming from, or what's causing it in your recording space. A lot of the time, voice actors assume that since their microphone is recording quiet the answer is to turn the level up on their pre-amp high! Not realising that this also magnifies all present sounds, trust me, I've been guilty of this myself in the past. Here is a very useful article that can help you manage and address where white noise could be coming from:https://bit.ly/2ZixGeI
There is a lot of room echo heard, it sounds like you could be recording in a large room. Now don't get me wrong, we aren't expecting everyone to have a suited-up professional recording studio at home. In fact, a lot of people find recording in a small wardrobe with clothes surrounding them to be beneficial, along with covering up any hard surfaces such as laptops, tripods, script stands, etc, with material to help dampen sounds. But listening to your audio it would be beneficial for you re-jig your recording space around as at the moment the room echo is very noticeable. You may have already seen this article, but it will help when reassessing your recording space: https://bit.ly/2MrNsSV.
It is also worth knowing that the audio volume for our platform is -3dB, make sure to normalize your audio in future to -3dBs as the audio above is too quiet.
Experiment with those tips and feel free to upload a new sample on here once you feel you have addressed those issues. :)
