EDIT: Original audio clip deleted, due to sub-standard performance.

The esses sound fine to me but the dead space between phrases is very unnatural.

Thanks so much! Yes the "dead spaces", were from using Audacity's "Noise Removal" VST.
I plan to get better, on adjusting that
(or leaving "well enough" alone), in a mix.

Chris Personally, I tend to find that things like that "noise removel" sound unnatural and distracting, often even when the track has been mixed.
It's like the difference between the "silence" of a quiet room and the absolute silence of an anechoic chamber. In real life there's always a slight amount of background noise, if only on a subliminal level.

Great point John.
BTW I plan to record a better performance, and make a better recording, by Wednesday (or sooner).
Thanks again guys! Chris

Some ways to go, but recorded a better performance. NO "noise reduction" VST. Approximately 5-6" away this time (I can tell I usually need to be around 8+ inches away in a better recording area).
Will be practicing/studying more on minimizing/reducing breath noise, on close up LDC vocals.
P.S. Seems despite singing this clip in a tenorish baritone, instead taking the key down a step into solid baritone, sounds a lot better.
I may just adjust the original hit style arrangement, to suit that when singing it locally.
EDIT 2/14/19: Been in a vocal slump, mainly due to pollen allergies. Finally my voice is recovering. Future clips ought to improve. Thanks for listening.
EDIT: 2/20/19 Not the same song as before, but the AKG P120 works better on my voice (flatter response). So here's a 12 second clip of "I'm Gonna Love You" (Barry White). Better performance too/way less "esses".
