Yesterday, as I nestled into the familiar groove of my office chair, diving into the latest eLearning module I’ve been crafting, a sudden buzz from my phone sliced through the concentration. It was a notification from Fiverr, a gentle nudge to check the latest job alerts. In that moment, curiosity got the better of me, and I found myself wandering into the world of potential projects and new opportunities.
“In the realm of eLearning, every opportunity to engage is an opportunity to inspire.”

Amid the sea of postings, one in particular caught my eye: “Engage Global Learners: Seeking Freelance Actor for E-Learning Course Videos”. It was as if the universe was conspiring to align my path with this unique project. The notion of blending my expertise in eLearning with the dynamic role of acting to create educational content that could captivate learners worldwide was thrilling.
Delving into the details of the job post, my mind raced with possibilities. Here was a chance to step beyond the conventional boundaries of instructional design and truly embody the essence of the learning material. The requirements spoke of a need for a neutral English accent, professional demeanor, and the ability to deliver lines with natural conviction—challenges I felt ready to tackle head-on.
However, as I reflected on my past experiences, particularly a project where I had to weave storytelling into eLearning, transforming corporate content into an engaging narrative, I realized the profound impact such roles could have. It wasn’t just about conveying information; it was about breathing life into it, making learning an experience to remember.
The project details outlined a vision for creating a series of videos, each designed to engage and educate. The thought of being part of something that could reach and resonate with a global audience was enticing. Yet, upon deeper introspection, I acknowledged that my true passion and skill set lay in the art of crafting the learning journey, rather than starring in it.
Conclusion
While the prospect of merging acting with eLearning design was intriguing, it ultimately did not align with my professional goals or financial requirements. The project, although promising, did not seem to offer the stability or compensation I seek in my career endeavors.
Graceful Decline
Thus, I decided not to pursue the opportunity. In my response to the hiring manager, I aimed to express my genuine interest and appreciation for the innovative project, while also clarifying my decision to focus on roles that better align with my expertise in instructional design and content development:
“Dear Hiring Manager,
Thank you for the opportunity to consider the ‘Freelance Actor for E-Learning Course Videos’ role. The project’s vision to engage global learners through dynamic video content is truly commendable. However, after thoughtful consideration, I must decline to pursue this role, as it does not fully align with my current professional focus and expertise in eLearning design. I am confident you will find a talented individual suited to bring your vision to life. Please do keep me in mind for any future projects that align more closely with instructional design and content creation. Wishing you the best in your search and future endeavors.
Warm regards,
Adam”
