Here is my one-minute test. Please let me know if I need to make any changes to the audio recording.

Welcome Theresa

The technical settings for your test are all correct, so well done. There is however fluctuation in the volume. Possible causes could be overuse of software noise reduction, or possibly a noise gate. Some PC's have a noise-canceling feature that should be disabled.

Give your test a close listen, and see if you can detect the volume going up and down while you speak. Once you solve it, make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.

Here is the updated recording. I hope that I did fix it, if not I will just end up starting over with a whole new recording.

No, I can still hear it. Do make a new recording. Don't do any processing at all.
