Hi ... I missed a couple of things in the previous file
Used audacity 2.4.2 for this.
No processing at all.
U-PHORIA UMC202HD Interface with an Audio-Technica AT2020 Limited Edition Cardioid.
How's the volume level. Gain was set high.
1 minute test ...please disregard the first one.

Hi crocket, welcome to librivox 
All tech specs are correct and you're sounding great but your volume is too low.
It is 85.3 and librivox aims for 86-92dB (with 89 being the goal.) You might like to turn up your recording volume. You can do this using the slider in audacity, which you will find next to a pic of a microphone. You could also amplify the recording. You will find the option to do this under 'effects'. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9WF82rf81o&t=121s&ab_channel=PhilChenevert phil demonstrates how your recording should look in audacity.
If you wish, you can install the checker tool https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/ which will tell you how many dB your recording is.
Please upload a new test once you've gotten your volume up a little and post the link here

Thank you so much.
I did find I was cranking the gain up to what I thought was extremely high. I also had the Mic setting in audacity at max. The effects tab was the solution to reach the right level so as to pass. I will upload the revision soon.
