Yesterday, I stumbled upon a job post that immediately piqued my interest, and I thought it would be a great story to share with you. Here’s how it unfolded…
I had been deeply engrossed in refining my portfolio website for several hours, ensuring every detail was perfect. In the midst of my focused work session, I took a brief moment to scroll through my social media feeds. That’s when an email notification from Fiverr caught my eye. It announced a new job posting that aligned perfectly with my expertise. Despite my initial hesitation—wondering whether I could squeeze in another project—my curiosity won over. The job titled “Record a Professional Female Voiceover for Two Spanish Courses Due in a Week” instantly grabbed my attention.
With a background as an eLearning Instructional Designer and considerable experience in course development, I felt confident in my ability to deliver a high-quality product within such a tight deadline. The job description and requirements were clear. The client was offering $60 for the completion of both courses, a rate that seemed too good to pass up despite the challenging deadline. Feeling up for the task, I decided to apply for the project. I sent a message to the client, introducing myself and assuring them of my commitment to delivering the best results within the stipulated timeframe.
“Sometimes, the right opportunity comes knocking at the perfect moment, challenging us to push our limits and showcase our true potential.”

Why specifically does this job post interest me, as a tenured eLearning Designer? The opportunity to merge my language skills with my voiceover experience is what drew me in. The niche requirement for a professional female voiceover for Spanish courses, combined with the tight deadline, presents a thrilling challenge. More than anything, the chance to contribute to someone’s learning experience is incredibly rewarding. This unique blend of requirements, mission, and personal passion makes the job particularly appealing to me.
Reflecting on the job posting, I was transported back to a similar project I had worked on two years ago. I had been tasked with recording a voiceover for an advanced Italian course. The project demanded late nights, copious amounts of coffee, and a final push to submit just before the deadline. It was a project that ignited my passion for this line of work and left me craving more opportunities to engage in similar tasks.
The successful completion of that Italian course voiceover project was a mix of exhaustion and immense satisfaction. The client’s delight and the learners’ engagement with the course were immensely gratifying. It was a testament to my ability to combine skills and produce a successful product. That satisfaction has led me to seek out similar opportunities, making this Spanish course voiceover job posting an exciting prospect.

Conclusion to Review of Job Posting
While the bilingual voiceover artist job posting is intriguing and presents a short-term challenge that would unequivocally stimulate my creative juices, it unfortunately does not meet my minimum project budget requirement. The budget of $29 per course, considering the quality I intend to deliver and the time it entails, falls below my standard rate. My niche expertise and the quality provision that I bring to the table have allowed me to uphold a certain level of professional expectation.
Reply to the Hiring Manager
Dear Hiring Manager,
Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to review your job posting. It is indeed a very interesting project that would certainly tap into my voiceover and Spanish teaching expertise.
However, after careful consideration, I must respectfully decline the opportunity. As an experienced professional in this field, my standard rate for similar projects is typically above the budget you have outlined. I believe in delivering premium quality and unfortunately, to maintain that quality, I can’t compromise on the financial aspect.
I am, however, more than willing to discuss any future projects that you might have with a budget that meets my professional standards. I am confident that we can collaborate on equally engaging courses, thus paving a way for a mutually beneficial partnership.
Best wishes,
Adam
