everyone has their own way of preparing
for a presentation what do you plan to
say how long will the presentation last
the first thing I do when I'm ready to
rehearse is go to the slideshow tab not
to run a slide show but to work on my
timing using the rehearse timings
command this mode lets you practice your
presentation while recording the amount
of time it takes to deliver each slide
see the toolbar at the top these timings
can be used to run your presentation
automatically in the future so you can
focus on your talking points instead of
advancing the slides while in rehearsal
mode just click the next button to move
to the next slide or the right arrow on
your keyboard if you need more than one
try to get a timing right you can take a
break using the pause button and then
resume the recording when you're ready
to rerecord the timing on the current
slide just click repeat and it'll reset
the clock let's skip ahead to the end of
the slideshow I'm going to use the
Escape key to return to PowerPoint and
I'm very satisfied with the timings from
this rehearsal so I'm going to click yes
to keep them here they are right under
each slide in slide sorter view now when
I give my presentation I can let this
run in the background without having to
advance the slides myself that gives me
an idea why don't we start over and this
time make a copy of the presentation
that people can view on their own with
slide timings and narration it's
possible with the record slideshow
feature all you need is a microphone for
your computer if you open the menu here
you can record from your current slide
or from the beginning if you're just
getting started check what you want to
include for me timings and narration
because I do have a mic then click start
recording and be ready to perform your
slideshow as soon as it begins make sure
you speak clearly into the mic if your
recording narration and as before click
Next or use the arrow key on your
keyboard when you're ready to move to
the next slide your mouse won't show up
on screen and a recorded slideshow so if
you want to point something out you'll
need to do it using something the viewer
can see the laser pointer it's easy just
hold ctrl on
your keyboard while you click and hold
your mouse when you're finished press
the Escape key now my timings and my
narration are part of the presentation
any slide with narration will be marked
with a little speaker icon in the bottom
right corner if you change your mind and
want to remove any timings or narration
just open the record slideshow menu and
clear whatever you need from the current
slide or all the slides I'm gonna need
to give my narration another go when I
have all my talking points planned out
but I'm not worried with the ability to
rehearse and record I know I'll be ready
to deliver my presentation whether it's
to a live audience or the viewers
