Your task is to make these slides your own by adding your own audio!
But, first, make sure your PRACTICE the following:
Recording audio into your computer using a microphone!

2. You will start to Record Audio by clicking on the RED BUTTON!
3. You will also stop your recording by clicking on this Red button again!

7. DISCARD: If you do not like the Audio, hit discard and record again.
8. INSERT: Once you are satisfied with your Audio, click insert to add it to your slide presentation!
NOTE: WE are not done! This needs to be repeated for every slide AND we need to "hide" it and ensure it plays automatically for your video! (Keep GOING!) :-)
YELP! Where did my audio go?? Time to FIND IT, MOVE IT, and HIDE IT!
