You should record an audio over this. This is easy to do, and can be done on your own computer using a normal microphone. Instructions as to how to do this can be found here.

The voice over is easy. If you have a microphone, the quality is even better, but this works even with the computer mic.

1) Open your presentation in powerpoint
2) Go to slide 1 in edit mode
3) Go to the “slide show” menu
4) Click on “record slide show”
5) Click on start recording
6) The screen will go to the first slide. Delay by a second, and start to speak
7) Move through the presentation as if you were presenting to an audience
8) When you get to the end, press the Esc key
9) Then you are done

If you are not satisfied, go to step 3 above and

1) Click on the “record slide show” button at the bottom where the little arrow is
2) Click on clear
3) Click “clear narration on all slides”
4) Start again at 1 above
