# Record Voiceover

Record your own Supademo voiceover with the built-in recorder to narrate any step in your own voice, on selected steps only or mixed with AI narration.

Recording your own voiceover lets you narrate steps in your own voice using Supademo's built-in recorder — perfect for warmth, credibility, unscripted narration, product nuance, or languages and pronunciations that are uniquely yours. Manual recordings attach to individual slides, so you can narrate a few steps yourself and leave the rest to AI. It is one of four narration methods in [Voiceovers](https://docs.supademo.com/customize/voiceovers).

Manual voiceovers offer the flexibility to:

* Record authentic, unscripted narration
* Highlight product nuances
* Add human emotion and emphasis
* Support multiple languages with your own pronunciation

## Record a Voiceover for a Step

Recording happens inside the editor, one step at a time — no external recorder, no file handling. Repeat these steps on each slide you want narrated:

1. Open your Supademo in edit mode and navigate to the desired step.
2. In the **Voiceover** panel, choose **Record my voice** (manual voiceover). On a step with no narration yet, click **Add Voiceover** and select **Manual Voiceover**.
3. Click **Record voice** to start, and **Stop** to finish.
4. Click **Save** to attach the recording to the step, and confirm with **Proceed with changes** to publish your narration.

## Tips for Better Manual Voiceovers

Four habits make the difference between a recording that sounds homemade and one that sounds intentional:

* **Use a good microphone** to ensure clear audio. A headset or external mic beats a laptop's built-in one.
* **Keep your narration concise and focused.** One idea per step keeps pacing tight and re-recording cheap.
* **Record in a quiet environment.** Background noise is far harder to remove afterwards than to avoid.
* **Add a Chapter at the start** to ensure autoplay on the first slide. Browsers block audio until a viewer interacts with the page, so an opening chapter or hotspot gives them something to click.

## Mix Recordings with Other Methods

You can record on select steps only, or mix manual recordings with AI voiceovers in the same demo. Record the intro and outro yourself for a personal touch, then use AI voiceovers for the walkthrough steps in between. If you want your own voice on every step without recording each one, clone it instead with [Instant AI Voice Clone](https://docs.supademo.com/customize/voiceovers/instant-ai-voice-clone), or attach audio you produced elsewhere with [Upload Voiceover](https://docs.supademo.com/customize/voiceovers/upload-voiceover).
