That&#39;s because when you add audio, your viewers get the whole presentation, including what you said on each slide. Having audio also makes your presentation more likely to go viral.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Earlier, the biggest problem with making a slidecast or webinar was finding a place to host the audio. But now you can host your mp3 directly with SlideShare with file size limits).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For more info on creating slidecasts and webinars hosted on SlideShare, go &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.slideshare.net/AmitRanjan/slideshare-launches-audio-hosting-for-slidecasting?from=email&amp;type=newsletterjune-1-09&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. To get started with adding audio, go to the Edit page for any of your presentations.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

Maybe you have a series of talks that you want to work into a book? Why not make it a presentation book?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tell us what you think?
