Camtasia for Librarians

Recording Audio

Paste your script into Camtasia under Voice Narration. If you decide to record audio in chunks, you might want to insert dividing lines to indicate your stopping points. 

Tip: If you make a mistake while recording audio, don't stop speaking. Just pause for a few seconds and begin again. You can go back later and edit out the mistakes. 

Make sure you're using a good microphone. I like the Logitech Blue Snowball. Select your microphone and begin recording. By default, Camtasia stacks all your audio recordings on top of one another on Track 1, Track 2, etc. You'll want to drag all the audio recordings down to Track 1 so that they play in order, not simultaneously!
