Adding Narration or Sound Recording in PowerPoint Presentations Your Logo Here Create and save a PowerPoint presentation. To record a narration, your computer needs a sound card and a microphone. You can record a narration before you run a slide show, or you can record it during the presentation and include audience comments. If you don't want narration throughout the entire slide show, you can also record separate sounds or comments on selected slides or objects.
Record Narration • On the Slide Show menu --> Record Narration. • (A dialog box appears showing the amount of • free disk space and the number of minutes • you can record.) • To insert the narration as a linked object, • select the Link narrations in check box, and • then click --> OK to begin recording.
Timings • Advance through the slide show and add • narration as you go. At the end of the show, • a message appears. • To save the timings along with the narration, • click Yes. To save only the narration, click No. • A sound icon appears in the lower-right corner • of each slide that has narration.
Notes: • When you run the slide show, the narration will • automatically play with the show. • To run the slide show without narration, • Slide Show menu --> Set Up Show , • select the Show without narrations check box. • Because you can't record and play sounds at • the same time, while you're recording you won't • hear other sounds you inserted in your slide • show.
Pause or stop voice during recording • During recording, right-click, and then click • --> Pause Recording on the shortcut menu. • To resume recording, right-click, and then click • --> Resume Recording.
Delete voice narration • In slide view, select the sound icon • in the lower-right corner of the slide, and then • --> DELETE. • Repeat for each slide you want to delete • narration from. • Tip: If you want to run the slide show without • its narration but you don't want to delete it, • click Set Up Show on the Slide Show menu, • and then select the Show without narrations • check box.
Record a sound on a single slide • In slide view, display the slide to which you • want to add a sound: • Insert menu --> Movies and Sounds, • --> click Record Sound. • To record the sound, --> Record. • When finished, --> Stop. • In the Name box, type a name for the sound, • --> then click OK.
Animating Sound • A sound icon appears on the slide. • Tip: To animate the sound so it plays • automatically in an animation sequence, • select the sound icon, --> Slide Show menu • -->Custom Animation, and then select the • options you want.
