Greetings Kamara

Your test audio meets all the technical requirements for bit rate, volume and mono. However, your recording suffers from too much room echo. You need a much deader recording space. The reverberations blur and distort your otherwise good audio.

You can find advice on improving issues like room echo in the Librivox wiki:

Try some of those suggestions, then make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.
