In addition to letting you adjust and add pre-recorded audio files, iMovie gives you the ability to record your own voice-over narration to your movies while watching the movie. The advantage of recording directly into iMovie is that you can watch your video as you speak. You can record with the built-in microphone if your Mac has one, or you can pick up an inexpensive USB microphone from any computer or office supply store.
