i can not say that i have and not just because i do not play piano. :-)

i will make a suggestion, do it like it would be done in an actual
recording studio.

  1st- lay down the piano on a track until you get it like you want
        it to sound.
  2nd- record the talk on a second track.
  3rd- when you have second track like you want, mix the 2 to 1.

this way, you only have 1 thing to concentrate on at a time.

trying to play piano and keep beat can be difficult if you are also
trying to read and talk.

that is presuming you can chew gum and walk at the same time. ((GBWG))
