Here
is how you create a Voiceover using PowerPoint for PC Users:
1.
With your presentation open, on the Slide Show tab,
click Record Slide Show.
o Clicking
the upper half of the button starts you on the current slide.
o Clicking
the lower half of the button gives you the option to start from the beginning
or from the current slide.
(The Clear command
deletes narrations or timings, so be careful when you use it. Clear is grayed out
unless you have previously recorded some slides.)
2.
In the Record
Slide Show box, check or clear the boxes for your recording,
and click Start Recording.
More about these options:
o Slide and animation timings:
PowerPoint automatically records the time you spend on each slide, including
any animation steps
that occur, and the use of any triggers on each slide.
o Narrations, ink, and laser
pointer: Record your voice as you run through your presentation. If
you use the pen, highlighter, eraser, or laser pointer, PowerPoint records
those for playback as well.
Important: Pen,
highlighter, and eraser recording are available only if you have the February 16, 2015 update for PowerPoint
2013 or a later version of PowerPoint installed. In earlier
versions of PowerPoint, pen and highlighter strokes are saved as ink annotation
shapes.
3.
At the top left corner of the window is the Recording toolbar,
which you can use to:
o Go to the
next slide:
o Pause the
recording:
o Re-record
the current slide:
If you re-record your narration (including audio, ink, and laser
pointer), PowerPoint erases your previously recorded narration (including
audio, ink, and laser pointer) when you start recording again on the same
slide.
You can also re-record by going to Slide Show > Record Slide Show.
4.
To use ink, eraser, or the laser pointer in your recording,
right-click the slide, click Pointer
options, and pick your tool:
o Laser Pointer
o Pen
o Highlighter
o Eraser (This
option is grayed out unless you have previously added ink to some slides.)
To change the color of the ink, click Ink Color.
5.
To end your recording, right-click the final slide, and
click End Show.
Tip: When
you finish recording your narration, a sound icon appears in the lower-right
corner of each slide that has narration.
The recorded slide show timings are automatically saved. Timings
are shown in Slide Sorter view
just beneath each slide.
In this process, what you record is embedded in each slide, and
the recording can be played back in Slide Show. A video file is not created by
this recording process. However, if you want a video file, you can save your
presentation as a video with a few extra steps.
On the Slide
Show tab, click From Beginning or From Current Slide.
During playback, your animations, inking actions, laser pointer,
audio and video play in sync.
In Normal view,
click the sound icon in the lower-right corner of the slide, and then
click Play.
