A feedback to start sharing my profile again
Thanks so much. I need feedback for these samples I created. my project has been rejected few times and only accepted once. so I think my profile has been deactivated for days now, I don't get project notifications anymore, though was asked to post my sample after fixing the issue for review. the issue is not particular, at times it's said to be hiss, white noise but in my last rejection, I was told that it sounds like I didn't record it with good equipment... <hurt a bit though> but thanks to that, I was able to do more research and learned.
Here's is the new samples:

Hope to get quick feedback to fix the issue, I posted three different links with three different samples. Thanks for taking your time to review them all. Doing voiceover is happiness to me, these few days have really been quiet in my life

Hi Favor,
Thank you for reaching out to us on here! =)
I had a listen to the samples you provided above, but the 3 files seemed to contain the same audio recording? I could hear reverb and it sounds like you could be implementing some corrective EQing. At 0:03 there is a loud click heard too. I think the best way to help you would be for me to get a better understanding of your setup and which equipment you are using, so we can address any quality issues from the root cause.
Can you tell us what recording setup you have; which mic? Preamp?
Also, if you could provide some pictures of your recording space, we can help with recommendations on ways to improve your audio quality.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! :D
Kindest regards,
Samantha
Thanks a lot, Samantha. Here is the view o my studio and the types of equipment I use,

And also I did some recording to see if it's getting better. I will gladly accept your opinion and contribution.

Hello again Favour, :)
Thank you for supplying the image and video. Unfortunately, the video was mute, until 2 minutes in where all I could hear was that you have carpet on the floor, then it jumped back to being silent again. Can you tell me what mic you are using? And which pair of headphones?
From watching, I can see there is a lot of open space and also hard surfaces. Did I see a window on the right too?
It would beneficial if you reduce the size of your recording space to help prevent room echo from getting heard in your audio. Also, it's a lot easier to treat smaller spaces with acoustic treatment to prevent reverb. Do note that if you plan on using your laptop to record from, many laptops have internal fans which are noisy and affect audio too - So try and keep it away from your mic as much as possible.
After listening to your audio files, I think it would be wise to re-evaluate your recording space first, here is a useful article we have that can help you with tips on getting it set up: https://bit.ly/2MrNsSV
There was also a lot of loud white noise.
Usually, the main culprit for white noise being heard is that the gain on the pre-amp is dialed too high. It would be worth looking at identifying what could be causing it and how to tackle the white noise. (For instance, there was a lot of electrical appliances close by and a standing fan seen in the footage you shared) Here is a great article that offers tips to help manage with it: https://bit.ly/2ZixGeI
