I honestly think that your videos are the most explanatory that I've come across. However, it is very heart-breaking to know that I asked a question but you didn't respond. It comes across as if either my question was a silly one, or you only value certain comments from your viewers/subscribers.
Come on, Kevin. That's not the way to treat your audience. You ask us to subscribe but still ignore questions.

How can I transfer a voice on video and program what I will like it to say with the previous voice on the video

[@ogaliemmanuel1005]

Who’s good at this voice changer

[@Lisa-nj5lo]

Hi Kevin, I consult your videos often to get help with recording in PowerPoint! Can you discuss how to create an instructional video with narration using screen recorder? I need to demo how to download and complete a form in Word. This training video is for a global audience. Can you also include tips on how to create and use scripted narration within the training video? Thank you.

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Kevin: I really, really needed this to complete an assignment for my Master's degree. Thank you so much.

[@KevinStratvert]

Kevin, this was super helpful! This was the exact tutorial that I needed. Keep being awesome! 🤘

[@kobinathan8163]

PERFECT! EXACTLY what I needed! I have spent hours reviewing paid, expensive options to record my online course, and then I chanced upon your video here. Realize I have everything I need to complete my recordings for FREE! Thanks, Kevin.

[@entrepreneursredefined3303]

Thanks for this tutorial on the various ways to add voiceovers to PowerPoint. Being a PowerPoint novice, I struggled with this and was using another application. However. now that you've explained just how easy it is, I am able to complete my projects in much less time. And, they look and SOUND more professional. Thanks for another great video tutorial, Kevin.

[@cdholland98]

Excellent video! I already have Audacity but never thought I could use it with PowerPoint. This tutorial will help me take my work projects up several notches. Thank you!!!

[@lishabarrett8750]

Kevin, thank you so much for your videos! I have a video presentation that is due in one day for my Professional Writing class and this video helped me learn a technique from scratch--in just a few minutes! I even took notes for future projects and recommended your videos to the other students in my class :) Thank you so much for taking the time out to share your knowledge to help everyone; including college students like me. I subscribed!

[@sekousmiley9765]

I'm here because I have an assignment requiring ppt with voice over as part of my MBA. This video is just what I was looking for, short, concise and professional video. Thanks a lot Kevin, this is really helpful 🙏

For those whose slides are not changing automatically after the audio:
Go to Transitions > Timing > Advance Slide and check the box before After [timestamp].

[@HansUtFryslan]

Thanks Kevin. All very clearly understandable and quite comprehensive for just 15 minutes.
