Hey man! Thank you for auditioning. Your tone is pretty good for the character, you're mic sounded a little quiet on my end, but it could be something you're messing around with in your settings. I could hear some background noise as well. The last line seemed to lack the emotion I was looking for as well, I needed it to sound more like curious and questionable. If you would like my advice on equipment, since you have a USB mic, I suggest getting a pop filter and a foam cover to eliminate some background noise. I also suggest recording in a room that doesn't have any sort of noise issues such as a closet, I know it may sound weird, but it's isolated enough to record in, you can also purchase sound absorbing foam as well! Do you use any editing audio stuff such as Audacity? Sometimes you can clean up some background noise sound and such. Don't take my words to harshly, just wanted to help you out since you're starting out! You have potential though! Thank you for auditioning! :)
