Hi Judah! I recommend recordmydesktop, and possibly gtk-recordmydesktop (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/multimedia/gtk-recordmydesktop/). recordmydesktop is in extras in Slackware.
Recordmydesktop claims to support recording audio at the same time. If it doesn't, I would use audacity (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/audio/audacity/) and then use ffmpeg or mencoder to glue the video and the sound together. This is a little bit of a roll-your-own solution. There are probably better alternatives that let you glue the files together, such as kdenlive (KDE series) or Shotcut (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/multimedia/shotcut/) which may be more friendly ways to glue the audio track into the video.
