Open your GarageBand file and drag the sound over to the left column from the right column like you did for the background music. Keep doing this until you have all of your need sound effects in your video.

Find Place to Add Sound

In the original video there are metal sounds and stuff like that. You want this to be as much as the original as possible which means you need to watch the original video and record each time a certain sound was made. For instance, there is a sword sound at 29 seconds in the original video so we will add our sword sound at 29 seconds also.

Voice Overs

After you have added your sound effects you will need to record a voice over. To do this you click the plus in the bottom left corner and then click on the "real instrument" tab. After doing this click the red circle at the bottom and start talking. You can then move your voice over around until it is in a good position.

Done!
