PowerPoint: creating a voice over presentation

PROFESSOR: This
video will show you

how to do a voiceover
in Microsoft Powerpoint.

There are many ways to do
this, but this is just one

easy, straightforward way
to get your voice recorded

while you're doing a
Powerpoint presentation.

So open in front of me
is a Microsoft Powerpoint

presentation.

Go to the Slideshow tab.

And click on Record Slideshow.

Start recording from beginning.

And you can click
on Start Recording.

Now, be sure to talk but to stop
talking before you switch over

to the next slide.

While I'm talking, my
voice is being recorded.

And once I'm ready to
switch to the next slide,

it's important that
I stop talking,

switch to the next
slide, and then you

can continue talking again.

If you talk while you're
switching to the next slide,

those words won't be recorded.

So there will be
some words missing.

And it is quite a
habit that we have

to continue talking while
we are switching over

to the next slide.

And you can continue recording.

Stop talking just
before you're going

to switch to the next slide.

And continue talking.

Continue recording.

Now, say you want to
rerecord whatever you said

while presenting
this specific slide.

Then you can click on Escape or
press Escape on your keyboard,

and you'll see that
the voice recording--

the audio file--
is situated here.

Now, while on this slide,
you can rerecord this slide

by going to Start Recording
From Current Slide.

Don't click on Start
Recording From Beginning,

because then you have to
rerecord all the slides that you

have already recorded on.

Start recording
from current slide.

And here, you can
redo your recording,

and the audio file is
automatically written over.

And you can continue
through all your slides.

Once you're done, you
can click on Escape.

And you'll see that
the audio files

are all here at the bottom.

When you're ready to save,
there's various file formats

that you can save it in.

So choose the one that
will work best for you.

The Powerpoint show is
quite a recommended one

that works quite
well because it's

very useful and user friendly
for the person watching it.

But if you want to upload
something on YouTube,

a video file may work better.

I hope this helped, and
enjoy making your Powerpoint

presentations accessible
to the world out there.
