INTRODUCTION

You can record a narrator's voice to play throughout your slide show. You might use this technique for slide shows that run by themselves without a presenter. Begin by preparing a script for the presentation, making sure you know what the narrator should say for each slide.

TIP

Rehearse First

It's a good practice to rehearse your narration before attempting to record your voice.
