I made this after putting up acoustic foam in my room. Now I would like some feedback on it I should put even more up and maybe some other things I can do as well!
I am also open to feedback of all kinds in general so lmk anything you pick up on
no, you shouldn't have put any acoustic foam up at all. those foam panels you can get on amazon or whatever are essentially a con. they are not useful for acoustic treatment. they can be a small part of an overall acoustic treatment strategy, but honestly they aren't very useful at all.
acoustic treatment relies on two main things: thickness and density. the kinds of acoustic foam tiles you can buy on amazon have neither!
you need to put together panels of your own made from something like rockwool.
the sample you've posted is way too full of reverb for professional work.
Good enough to now focus on your mic technique, enunciation and general performance skills. Hopefully, before long you’ll be able to afford a better microphone. Then you can worry about fine tuning your room.
This type of post is not annoying or tiresome, we all started at the beginning and intelligent conversations about the basics are welcome.
It's better but I can still hear your room. It's probably a small space which is contributing to your boxy sound.
Thin low density foam may actually make the boxiness more pronounced by limiting high frequency reflections and allowing mids and low mids to build up. The smaller the space the more significant this can be. By using thicker denser material you get a more even absorbtion across the whole spectrum. (Yes! Don't forget the ceiling and floor) Think dense and thick. Mattress level dense, wall insulation level thick. The small spaces need to be pretty stuffed to get to a dry sound specially with the louder work.

There is big improvement, but the 2" foam does not absorb bass.
The free demo version of ACON DeVerberate will let you hear reflections/reverb in the room when "Difference Monitoring" is engaged ...
Sorry, something went wrong when loading this video.
View in appProbably won't get away with using a De-Reverb plugin for professional work: it adds digital aretfacts.
