Recording a Voiceover Narration
To record a voiceover narration, you speak about each slide, advancing through the
slideshow at your natural speed. As you advance through each slide or build, your
timing is recorded as well and will be preserved when the slideshow is played back
for viewers.
To record the voiceover, you can use the computer’s built-in microphone or attach an
external one. If you’re using an external microphone, first attach it and use the sound
pane of System Preferences to configure the input settings.
To record a voiceover narration:
1
Select any slide on which you want the recording to start. If you select a skipped slide,
recording starts with the nearest previous unskipped slide.

Open the Document inspector, click Audio, and click Record.
