how to do voice over on powerpoint

To do a voice over on PowerPoint, you have several methods depending on your needs:

Basic Method: Record Audio on Individual Slides

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation.
2. Select the slide where you want to add voice over.
3. Go to Insert > Media > Audio > Record Audio.
4. Name your audio file, click Record , and speak your narration.
5. Click Stop when done and then OK to insert the audio on the slide

Record Slide Show with Narration (Recommended for full presentations)

1. Open your presentation and go to the Slide Show tab.
2. Click Record Slide Show.
3. Choose to start recording from the beginning or current slide.
4. Narrate as you advance through the slides. You can pause, go back, or re-record sections as needed.
5. When finished, save your presentation. The narration and slide timings are saved with the slides

Using the Recording Tab for Easier Access

• You can add the Recording tab to your ribbon via PowerPoint options to have all recording tools in one place.
• From there, you can insert audio or record slide shows more conveniently

Tips for Better Voice Overs

• Use a good quality microphone (headset or external mic preferred).
• Adjust microphone levels before recording.
• If you want to edit your voice over later, consider recording your audio in an external app like Audacity, then import it into PowerPoint

Summary

• For quick voice overs on single slides, use Insert > Audio > Record Audio.
• For full narration synced with slide timings, use Slide Show > Record Slide Show.
• Add the Recording tab for easier access to all recording tools.
• Use external audio editors for advanced editing before importing audio.

This approach covers both simple and advanced voice over needs in PowerPoint
