In iMovie you can record directly from the microphone to narrate your video. You can start at any point and record your voice, then manipulate the audio track like any other. This comes in handy for regular videos, but also for photo slideshows created in iMovie.

Great tutorial on VoiceOver! I have not used this feature yet but I will be using it on a summer project.

Even though I'm still using iMovie '09, voiceover is a wonderful tool when creating projects for family. I've had difficulty trying to edit the audio clip though. For instance, trying to edit out a sneeze. Do you have any tips other than to re-record the voiceover?
You can always split the audio clip before and after the sneeze and then delete the middle section with the sneeze.

Gary this is a great video. I was wondering if it's possible to use this feature on iMovie '09...I ask because I still use it instead of iMovie 10 due to the ease of use.
There was a voiceover function in iMovie 09. Just play around with it to learn its features.

Things are indeed very different in earlier versions of iMovie. Refer to the Help to see where the commands are. Or, consider upgrading.
