OUTCOME

I apologize in advance for my terrible reading skills. 

In response to the differences in sound quality in the recording,  in the recording in which I was out of the critical distance, in addition to my voice obviously sounding far away, my voice almost seemed to be muffled in comparison to the other one. I can definitely notice the absence of the lower frequencies that my voice carries when I was outside the critical distance. When I was in the critical distance, the mic seems to capture (almost all, if not all) of the different frequencies that make up the tone of my actual voice.
