    1 - Introduction ~5 mins

    Today you will

    • write a short script for one slide
    • record it as a voiceover
    • put the recording into your presentation

    Illustration for IntroductionA voiceover is your own voice, recorded and attached to a slide.

    Warm-up

    Think of a video where the sound helped you, and one where it got in the way. What was the difference?

    2 - Key Concepts ~5 mins

    A voiceover is a short recording of your voice on a slide.

    Audio levels are how loud each sound is, and your voice should be the loudest.

    Royalty-free music is music you are allowed to use. Copyright protects chart songs, so leave them out. Always know where your music came from.

    Example

    A 20-second script: "This slide shows my three graduation photo packages. The mid package at €45 covers a 30-minute shoot and ten edited shots. Most families book that one."

    3 - Step-by-step Task ~18 mins

    You will record a short voiceover for one slide. Watch your teacher first, then follow the steps in the box below.

    There are two parts. When Part A is done, stop and wait for your teacher to start Part B.

    If you are making a video or a podcast, record the same way. Then add the file in CapCut or your audio editor.

    4 - Common Issues ~4 mins

    Common issues

    • Insert Audio is greyed out. Upload the file first, then use the path on the board.
    • My phone recording isn't on the PC. Email it to yourself and save it to Downloads.
    • My recording is too quiet. Record again closer to the mic.
    • I want a chart song. That isn't allowed, so use approved royalty-free music or none.
