[Should the buyer buy Commercial Rights for my voiceover?]

I might be misunderstanding you here, but if you're saying that we can't ask for Commercial Rights if we didn't right the script, I don't believe that is accurate. Literally every job I've done (and I think everybody can say the same here), I am given a script to read. Our job is not to write the copy, but to read the copy. And the usage of our voice over determines the price of our work.

Per Fiverr themselves, "By purchasing a Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) with your order, in addition to the basic rights, the Seller grants you with a license to use the Voice Over for any corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes. Corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes means any business related use for the creation of, or to promote a for-profit product or service."

Please, correct me if I am factually incorrect here.

In the context of my sentence it is certain that by also using copyright you have more rights to commercial use.

Exactly as you wrote, when you sell a product that you recorded yourself, with your voice, you have the right on the phonogram and on the interpretation so yes you have the right on sale for commercial use.

I’m sorry I misexpressed myself, my fault.

Hope you have solved all your doubts.

Should I ask him to pay for commercial rights? He could monetize with this content. Are there some questions I should ask him?

It always depends if the text content of your voice over is yours, if that is, you have the copyright on the text. 
Otherwise it is a work for hire, where your right to the phonogram is purchased for both private and commercial use, does not change much. 

If you charge for the commercial usage license, at least you must have written the lines, in addition to this you can sell the copy right and this type of sale is more profitable and is a surplus to a simple commercial license because it gives the buyer the full economic use of the audio and the lines or melody composed (such as publishing rights).
