I think your second take was better. but the voice ultimately does not sound too natural. There where also simply auditions with better audio setup. The first take was lacking quite a bit of emotion, which you did add during your second take.
Dear @visionofchaos, I am glad you have responded to my request, and it is a pleasure to have been shortlisted for a series I have an interest in. Indeed, I do have audio equipment that is on the cheaper side. I will continue to improve my performance skills, as well as work on my audio equipment budget when the time comes. I wish you the very best of success on your project, and to those who made it to their respective roles.
