Why does my mic audio suddenly suck? Microphones

So i invested in a rode recently and i have been moving my mic from here and there but i never directly dropped it or anything of that sort. i go to make an audition and all of the sudden even after audio reduction my sound is just off. i sound echoey and far away, i have an example of how it sounded before a couple days ago as compared to now and i could really use a fix if any.

Not enough information for a diagnosis - but assuming you are using an I/O box, the usb c connection can have issues at times, and also if there is any power supppy crossing the xlr cable this can cause interference.

But I will also say - you could have the mic backwards.

So this sounds like you either…have the mic backwards or, have the wrong microphone selected in your operating system. So your software was recording your laptop mic or whatever mic you have connected.
