Can you export voice memos from your MacBook onto your desktop or into iMovie?

I am trying to work on a final project for one of my courses and I am making a video. I did the audio recording on voice memo and now I cannot figure out how to get those audio recordings onto iMovie. Any help would be much appreciated!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

Yes, you can do that. When you make the voice memo it appears in the sidebar of the Voice Memo app. Drag it from the side bar to your desktop and from there into iMovie.
