We know where you're going, now we need to know where you're starting from. Can you post a clean voice sample somewhere? Without that all we can do is this...

Audacity will not save an audio file. Those are Project fragments -- and they're not all sound files.

Open the AUP file associated with your show and Export As WAV to create a sound file.

I'm a little time crimped right now, but what happens if you drop a mono narration track into a full stereo musical show? I know it's an article of faith that all the parts of a show need to be in the same standard for best results.

<<<Wavosaur is a great little app however it doesn't do mp3's which is mostly what I work with>>> Neither does Audacity.

You didn't burn a Music CD. You burned a Data CD. Picture 1.png That's what the control panel in iTunes looks like. You can create either one. For maximum interchangeability, make it a Music or Audio CD. What you made is a Data CD. That one can contain any type of file. It's not restricted to music....
