Welcome Jeneen
I reviewed your test sample, and while it sounds good there are some technical changes needed. LibriVox requires audio that is 128kbps constant bit rate, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and between 86db and 92db, preferably 89-90. Your test audio is 256kbps bit rate, 48kHz sample rate, and the volume at 32db is so low I thought your recording was blank.
Adjust the input gain on your mic so your raw recording has wave forms that peak at about the -3db marks in the recording track window. It should look like this:
Before you start recording, be sure that you select 44.kHz fas the recording sample rate.
When exporting your MP3 from Audition, be sure to select 128kb.
You can pre-check your audio yourself by downloading the free Checker app: https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/
Passed with Warnings is a fail with regard to volume.
Go to Validation>Choose Validation Methods and check Background Noise. Be sure to leave 5 seconds blank at the end of your recording.
Please make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.

Hi!
I'm using Adobe Audition on a Windows computer with a XLR mic. I've changed my mic setup.
Here is my file. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_jeneenvoiceover.mp3
