The voice-over level-slider is too high: the value looks around +9dB, [ "+" means boost, i.e. louder ] ....
slider [coloured red] looks like +9, should be zero.png
Given the amplitude of your voice-recording, that level-slider should be about zero.
Anything above about +6 will produce the flattened envelope ...

After turning down that [red] slider , it may be too quiet for you , then turn up the "output level" slider ...
If it's not loud enough, turn up this 'output level' slider.png
Thanks Trebor
Tried that & it appears the problem is solved.
