Creating a voice-over PowerPoint video involves a few straightforward steps. First, you’ll need a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation and a script for the voice-over. PowerPoint has a built-in recording feature, making the process quite simple.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Open your PowerPoint presentation. Navigate to the slide where you want to start your voice-over.
- Click on the “Insert” tab in the PowerPoint menu, then select “Audio”.
- Choose “Record Audio” to start recording your voice-over.
- A dialog box will appear, providing a record and stop button. Press the record button when you’re ready to begin, and the stop button when you’re finished.
- Once you’re satisfied with the recording, click “OK” to insert the recorded audio onto the slide. You can resize and move the audio icon as needed.
- Repeat the steps for each slide you want to add a voice-over to.
- Once all voice-overs are added, save your PowerPoint presentation.
Remember, a successful voice-over is not just about the words you say, but also how you say them. Speak clearly and at a moderate pace, and try to incorporate natural inflections to make your voice-over engaging and easy to listen to.
It’s also worth to note that you can also use professional voice-over services to ensure high-quality audio. SlideGenius offers such services, where our team of professional voice-over artists can add a touch of professionalism and engagement to your presentations.
Setting Your Narration to Play Automatically
If you want your voice-over to play automatically when you move to a new slide, follow these steps:
- Select the audio icon on the slide.
- Go to the “Playback” tab in the PowerPoint menu.
- Under the “Audio Options” group, select “Start” and then choose “Automatically”.
- Make sure “Play Across Slides” is also selected. This option ensures that if your audio narration is longer than one slide, it will continue playing beyond the original slide.
