Voiceover
It is a recording of
narration that can be
added to our PowToon.
It may seem impractical to start with the voiceover instead of the
visuals. It is only natural for us to think that we add first the visuals;
then we can adjust our voiceover to coincide with what is happening
on the scenes. But that is not actually what is better to do. It is the
other way around. When we record a voiceover of our script, we get
much more accurate timing of the final story rather than choosing
the visuals and guessing the timing and having to do again the
timing later. It also makes it easier to add slides and animations.

"Because you know that the testing of
your faith produces perseverance. Let
perseverance finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete, not
lacking anything." - James 1:3-4
This verse highlights the idea that patience, developed
through trials, leads to maturity and completeness.
Patience is a virtue. It is needed when
we aim for our goals. Patience is the
ability to wait. It is also continuing to do
something without getting angry,
frustrated, or upset.
We learned how to be patient when
recording a voiceover. We committed
mistakes several times but we kept
recording. Let us learn to be patient to
endure and tolerate something that takes a
long time. Patience helps us keep a positive
attitude toward our life circumstances.
