Adding voice over to after effects project

Hi,

I'm very new to after effects and so far am mastering the basics and introducing keyframes to adjust opacity, position etc. I'm pretty happy with what I have created thus far on my project, but now I wish to record a voice over on my video.  I know I can create a voice over track in audition, but I would like to see the preview of my video while I speak to I can time myself right etc.  I have always done this very easily in iMovie.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please even if it means having a preview of my video in audition.

Thanks,

      The way you want to do this is a little bit backward for AE.  The most common way to work is to import an audio file of the voiceover, and then animate using the voiceover as a reference.

      So I'd recommend just recording the voiceover, importing it into AE, then adjusting your AE animation.  It shouldn't take very long.
