How do I record voice narration in Keynote?

I have the latest version (6.6.1).

Can I do voice narration in Keynote? Or will I need a third party software in order to add voice narration over my slides? My ultimate goal is make a YouTube video with automatic slides and narration.

OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

To record a voice over:

connect a mic if there is not a built in one present
Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound > Input:
select the mic from the list and adjust the input volume slider until the indicator registers a level of about 80%
open the Keynote presentation and click on slide 1 in the navigator
go to: Play > Record Slideshow
click the red record button
after the countdown, press the spacebar each time you want Keynote to move to the next slide or animation
click the red record button to finish recording
press the escape key to exit record mode
playback and re-record if needed
