## In the effects menu, you probably want to select the opions for Sound/MouseClick Sounds and Sound/Keyboard Sounds, and for Cursor/Highlight Cursor & Clicks.
## Before you start, know what you are going to say and do. Practice it. This can save considerable time later when editing. I really mean this - a bad script can add several hours of editing time. Practice, practice, practice.
## Record it, and look at the preview. Don't be scared of throwing it away and trying again.

##After recording, edit as needed. Put in titles / captions / transitions as needed.
