How To Get Free Background Music For Power Point Presentations
Power Point presentations are commonly used and some people may say,
overused. You can make your presentation more interesting by adding
background music to your slides. This music can be found for free on
the Internet and easily inserted into your Power Point presentation.
1.
Make sure the file is supported.
Power Point only supports some sound clip formats such as .MID
(MIDI), .AIFF, and .MP3. Some formats require special players and
setup so make sure you have the correct players for the music you
want to play. You also have the option of converting files to a file
that is supported. When you are looking at your free background
music selections, make sure that they fit one of these file formats
or you know you will be able to convert the file.
2.
Decide what style of music you need.
Before you even begin searching, you need to decide what type of
music you want to play during your presentation. If this is a fun,
casual presentation, then just about anything will do. If this is a
more professional presentation, make sure that your selection isn't
offensive. If you will be speaking during the presentation, the
volume should be adjusted accordingly.
3.
Visit a website that has free music for your presentation.
There are several websites out there that have free music
specifically to use on your Power Point presentation.
BrainyBetty,
RoyaltyFreeMusic, and
MyMusicInc are a few of them. You can also perform a
simple Internet search to locate more free music.
4.
Use what you already have.
You may overlook the fact that you have tons of CDs and MP3s. All of
these can be used as background music for your Power Point
presentation. Most local libraries also have CDs you can check out
for free to use during your presentation. You will need to convert
your CD to a playable format so it will play in your
presentation. It's important to note that you must have the
copyright owner's permission before using the music.
5.
Insert your new music.
Once you have located and downloaded your free Power Point
presentation background music, it needs to be inserted into your
presentation. This is very simple to do, just go to "Insert,"
"Movies and Sound," and then "Sound" from File. Select your saved
file and it will be placed in your Power Point presentation. There
are some settings so you can set the volume to just how you want it.
Now that you have found your free background music for your Power
Point presentation, you can provide your audience with an exciting
and intriguing presentation.
