When recording screencasts, There are usually 2 types of approaches:
1. Record screen and then do a voice over
2. Record both simultaneously, but doing one step at a time while taking pauses between each step
I use a different technique

recording audio and the screen separately sounds really good. You can read a script and your life will be easy
However, the problem with voiceovers is that it's so hard to match the pace of the screen recording.
So you end up doing a lot of work when recording your voice

On the other hand, recording both the screen and the audio one step at a time is very easy to edit. You can find the fails and remove them.
However, (for me) I find it hard to get right. That's because I can't do two things at once. (code + voiceover).

So from my POV, both approaches are hard.
One is hard in the production phase, and the other in post-production.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Here's how I do it:

Code. Pause. Narrate
When editing, all I need to do is grab the voiceover and decide where I want it to start
I don't mess up or forget what I want to say, and I'm not doing two things at once
This is a combination of the 2 approaches and works perfectly for me.
