This is an excellent example of my recording environment is crucial if you're planning on recording actual analogue audio. My house is not somewhere that's well known for its acoustic resonance: the ceilings are not 20 feet tall and the floors are mostly sound absorbing carpet. You'll hear that even with a little bit of post processing, my sound is cut off almost immediately. Additionally, I can't get far away enough from the mic to avoid hearing the sounds of my tonguing. Overall I'd say I've satisfied the requirements of the recording but am not that proud of it. It is what it is. Here's to a more engaging and better sounding next week.
