The voiceover button looks like a microphone.

Drag the input volume slider so that it matches the loudness of your voice.

You can select a Voice Enhancement box to electronically make your voice sound swell. Remember that any sound in your video will be heard as you record your own voice unless you mute it.

Select the Play Project Audio while Recording box if you need to hear sound as you record your voiceover.

You’ll see a purple soundtrack icon in the video where your voice will be heard. If you’re unhappy with your sound, click Undo Voiceover and try again.
