I personally would not put punctuation marks in filenames. Upper case, lower case, numbers, -dash- and underscore are the only universally acceptable characters. Otherwise, you could submit paid work to someone running an older Windows machine and have some entertaining emails as to why they can’t open your work.

That was easy.
I applied Mastering 4 and Noise Reduction of the beast, 6, 6, 6.
There is a technique to listen. Scroll forward and set your listening volume for normal voice. Then scroll back and listen to the whole thing. Don’t change any settings. If I did it right, you should hear little or no noise at the beginning.
That was the good news.
The awkward news is your sibilance. You have strident “SS” sounds in your words. Many new microphones do that because it sounds “professional.”
There is a “DeEsser” program available about which I know next to nothing and I have had reasonable luck with custom equalizer settings—about which more later.

I know DeEsser has a very gentle effect after you master a work. I experimented changing the first value to -30dB from where it normally is. I understand that’s the value which sets the amount DeEsser squashes the harsh tones.
I could listen to a story in that voice. I could probably listen to you read the phone book.
