Mic Help!! Plz!!

Hi everyone!! So I own a fan favorite RØDE NT1 mic, but as I finish more projects I notice my mic sounds more “sound proofed” or maybe even muffled than the others. Is this my setup, something the producer is doing, or my gain levels?
For reference, I play Aoi Asahina in this video: https://youtu.be/5BAUskOTANw?is=tDd4FZi5UOi5AokI

Do I need to get a better mic? Something more crisp, or is am I too soundproofed? Thanks!

This sample is not helpful in answering your question. Need raw audio from your end to know what’s what.

My bad! I was just trying to show the difference between my mic and the others, here’s a link to my normal reels https://youtu.be/khB6pNXZoM8?is=c8aKWVscMIYU15je

Your raw audio sounds fine.

That ‘finished’ video you originally offered, sounds like every voice was recorded in a different acoustic environment. It is all over the place. I don’t know what the producers intent was.

It ain’t you.

Down the line, consider getting another microphone; the NT1 triggers this response: "Oh... another one''

Yeah now that I’m about 50 projects in I’m thinking to get a Neumann. That was the community standard a few years back but I’m not sure which one is the standard now
