@Kiwi-In-Space What do you mean with tinny? Is there some reverb caused by your room acoustics? Then you need to reduce the reverb by adding absorbers to your walls. It will also help if you use a condenser microphone. Alternatively, there are AI based tools out there, that can isolate the voice from background sounds. For example, as a plugin you can use something like Supertone Clear, alternatively the free tool called Ultimate Vocal Remover. It's main task is to split songs and vocals but maybe it can also remove unwanted background noise but I haven't tested this yet.

Sorry, I meant my voice sounds fuzzy. I've had this problem for years, and I still havn't figured out how to fix it. I've tried everything. I've tried multiple voice mics for recording. I've tried adjusting the sound using the options on my editing tool. Nothing works.

Have you checked if any of the Windows, Sound Enhancements are turned on - see images below - these are for Windows 11?

In addition to the advice offered by previous posters, I think it would be invaluable if you told us rather more about your current recording setup for your voice. Which software do you use? You mention your editing tool but don't tell us what it is. Which mic and, if relevant, which audio interface? You say you've tried multiple voice mics, please tell us which ones. How are they connected to your computer? Do you have a desktop or a laptop?

If you can post an example of the receding on a file sharing cloud drive like Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer, we can better recommend a recording or restoration method. That said, there are any factors for recording one's voice cleanly starting with the environment, microphone and preamp. A fuzzy or distorted voice is commonly caused by feeding line level (+4 or -10dB) into a -60dB microphone level input. Depending on the severity, if the recording is distorted to begin with, there is not a lot that can be done even with state-of-the-art (expensive) restoration software like iZotope's RX Advanced or Steinberg's SpectraLayers Pro (SLP is included with the Sound Forge Pro Suite version).
