It sounds easy enough. Just write down what you would say if you were presenting a lecture on the topic. Unfortunately, not all written text translates well to a multimedia presentation of the topic.

Have you kept your dependent clauses short? Are you willing to use contractions to colloquialize the narrator's speech so it doesn't sound stilted? Do you try to keep the subject near the main verb so that the listener doesn't need to recall passages to make sense of the narration? Do you try to keep the sentences as short as possible, opting for two sentences if there is doubt about the length?
