Hello Chris,

Have you thought of using Keynote to do the presentation? You can associate an 
audio file with each slide that only you can hear. Unless, of course, you want 
to provide audio for the audience. Associating an audio clip with each slide 
gets over the problem of VO not reading the slides during the presentation.

Cheers,

Anne
