I bet if you record three clips at different distances, we would prefer the distant. You might think it sounds thin, but this is what everyone hears your voice as. Nobody naturally listens to you close up. Bone conduction makes you hear your own voice like this, but nobody else does. Record somebody else if you want to experiment. As far as I know, nobody has produced anything that really compensates for this = that is why things like SM7B, Neumann 104, EV RE20's and others exist. these go close in and sound natural. Your mic doesn't. You cannot make your mic not have proximity effect, and that makes your voice sound artificial. It's also why many voice over artists have their own mic - it allows them to sound 'right'.
You are right that you can hear more room. If your room is poor sounding, then treat that.
Record yourself close, then 200mm, then 350mm. Normalise, but don't EQ. Post the results and let us comment.
