As an eLearning Instructional Designer, my days are usually packed with creating course designs, developing interactive content, and meeting with clients. Today was no different. I had to finish designing an onboarding course for a new healthcare client that included interactive simulations and assessments. The clock kept ticking, and I was running out of time as I swiftly worked on the course’s final touches.
Suddenly, I got a notification on my computer. I clicked on it, and it directed me to Upwork. A job posting caught my eye – “Voiceover Person Needed To Voice YouTube Content & Online Course Content.” I was intrigued. The job seemed perfect for me, and I needed a break from the current project.
I clicked on the job posting and read through the job description. The client was looking for a professional voice-over artist with a clear British accent to voice their YouTube videos and online course content. The client’s requirements matched my skills and expertise, and I knew I could do an excellent job.
I glanced at the clock to see how much time I had before my next meeting. I decided to apply for the job right away, and if selected, I would deliver high-quality voice-over content. This opportunity could be the perfect break I needed to showcase my voice-over skills and enhance my portfolio further.
I took a deep breath, clicked on the “Submit Proposal” button, and waited.
Upon scanning the job post, my immediate reaction is a surge of excitement because it perfectly aligns with my voice-over skills and my love for creating engaging content for YouTube and online courses.

This job posting sparks my interest for a few reasons. First, it elegantly merges my unique skill sets of voice-over talent and an understanding of online course content. It’s rare to find a role that so precisely matches these, providing an ideal opportunity to apply my training and passion. The focus on a British accent is an added bonus — being born and raised in London, I not only have the accent but also a cultural familiarity, potentially enriching the content I’d voice. The possibility of long-term collaboration, as hinted in the description, further heightens my intrigue. I’ve always enjoyed establishing productive relationships with clients that evolve over time, allowing for deeper understanding and hence, improved results. Overall, the post is thrilling because it seems tailor-made for someone like me.
As I skimmed the job post, a wave of nostalgia washed over me, transporting me back to a project a few years ago. I remembered the time I had collaborated with an aspiring YouTuber to develop his channel’s theme and voiceover his videos. The excitement of contributing to the budding channel, experimenting with scripts, and adding inflections to mirror the content’s mood truly challenged my creative limits in ways I had never experienced before.
Reading this job posting reminded me vividly of a unique assignment from my early career days when I was asked to voiceover an online course for a reputable tech company. This project was not just about recording lines, it was about breathing life into text, shaping the narrative with just the subtlest of vocal inflections. I found myself reliving the thrill of those days, the tight deadlines, the countless retakes, and the satisfaction of finally hearing my voice smoothly harmonizing with the rhythm of the course.
