WeVideo
I am assuming you have your story and poem ready and you have practiced reading it twice. You are also in a quiet place ready to record.
Open WeVideo and click Podcast.
Click the microphone you want to use.
Click the blue button Start.
It will count down from 3 to 1, then you can start recording.
Click Stop when finished.
The audio click then will be added to a track called Voiceover 1.
Now, add intro music.
1. Click Audio.
2. Search, I picked somber.
3. Find the clip that will fit, and drag it to Audio 1
The audio clip will be way too loud, you will need to fade it a bit.
Click the ice cream cone, three dots, then Audio & opacity, and finally Show audio level.
1. Click and drag down. The blue line indicates the volume decreasing over time.
2. If you want to be fancy, you can click the blue line to create another dot. You can use the dots to decrease at different rates.
You will need to add another audio clip, the poem.
1. Click Project bin.
2. Click Add media.
3. Click Narrate. This will give you the same options as before. Know you lines, click stop when finished.
The recording should be in the Project bin.
Drag the new one to the Voiceover 1 track.
When finished, Click Export.
Title your episode.
Change to Public.
Choose Export.
After a while, WeVideo Team will send you an email with the link to your published project.
Click Share - then copy the link to turn in.
