Evening Slick. I'm not the best qualified person to give feedback, but I'll get the ball rolling. There's peaking here and there where you've raised your voice. In future you might want to turn down microphone sensitivity a bit to reduce this. Also in your introduction I think I could hear pc/laptop fans in the background, so you could eliminate that by getting a noise profile of the ambient noise and then application noise reduction. A good practice in general. Gutted that you didn't get the role, but at least it's experience! Keep up the good work!

Yeah it was my first time working with a blue yeti and it's much more sensitive than my original pro mic but I did like how it made my voice sound. I thought I did run a noise reduction but maybe I need more sound proof settings

Yeah, the Yeti's a little on the sensitive side, but it can be made to work. I usually have the gain dial anywhere from just above nothing to a quarter at most. Even then, I'll turn down Audacity's recording volume if that's still too much like for lines you have to be really emotional on. Noise reduction won't help with audio peaking, though. It's more for cutting out that background noise.
Basically, I'm seconding what Uncertain said. Ha-ha.
