That’s what I thought. I got no trouble listening to a story in that voice and I don’t think anybody else will, either.
Side issues: Most voice production is in mono, one blue wave and not stereo, two blue waves. When you finish with the reading and push the file over, make a safety copy somewhere. That’s your safety backup sound file if everything goes into the mud and so you don’t have to read it again.
Tracks > Mix > Mix Stereo to Mono. Then apply mastering 4.
I don’t hear any background noise or room echo. Did you find your furniture moving pads? Your room wasn’t all that bad in the first place, so it wouldn’t take much.
You can probably get an even better noise measurement by leaving a little clean background sound at either end of the piece, say 3/4 second. ACX Check needs that. I think that’s one of the ACX audiobook requirements, too. We can check with them.
Is that reading with the muff?
The only theatrical limit I can see is you’re a regional reader. Louis L’Amour would be straight down your alley, but I’d probably stay clear of Shakespeare.

And you can send them a test.
