Creating PowerPoint slides with voice over can be an effective way to convey information in your presentation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Start Microsoft PowerPoint
Open PowerPoint and start with a new presentation or open an existing one. Make sure your slides are ready before you begin recording.
2. Set Up Microphone
Before you start, ensure that your microphone is working correctly. Go to “Settings” in your computer, find “Sound” and ensure your microphone is selected as the default device for input. Do a test recording to ensure the sound quality is good.
3. Start Recording
Go to the “Slide Show” tab in PowerPoint. Click on the “Record Slide Show” button. You will have the option to start recording from the current slide or from the beginning. Choose based on your requirements.
4. Record Your Voice Over
As soon as you click on the “Record” button, PowerPoint will go into presentation mode. Start speaking into your microphone to record the voice over. You can use the navigation buttons at the bottom left to move through your slides.
5. Save Your Recording
When you have finished recording, hit the “Esc” key to stop. Your voice over is automatically saved with each slide. You can play back the slide show to review your recording.
6. Edit If Needed
If you need to edit your voice over, you can go back to the “Record Slide Show” button and choose to record on the current slide. This will overwrite the previous recording for just that slide.
7. Export Your Presentation
Once you are satisfied with your voice over, you can save your presentation. If you want to share your presentation, go to “File”, then “Export”, and choose “Create a Video”. This will create a video file with your slides and voice over, which can be played on any device.
Remember, the key to a good voice over is to speak clearly and at a steady pace. Practice your presentation a few times to make sure you deliver your content effectively.
Creating a PowerPoint presentation with a voice over can take some time and effort, but the results are worth it. It allows you to present your information in an engaging and interactive way, that can be easily shared and viewed at any time.
