Friday 13 October 2023 / 13:21
The latest information leaked about the new biography of American singer Britney Spears, “The Woman in Me,” revealed that it will be accompanied by an audio version, only part of which will be in Britney’s voice, while the rest will be in the voice of a famous female character.
And 11 days away from the book’s scheduled release on October 24, sources familiar with its issuance explained to the website: TMZ Britney actually recorded an audio commentary for the book, but it only narrates a small portion.
Using a famous person
While the family was one of the most important topics that cover a large part of the book, she was unable to record her voice regarding these parts of the book because it was painful for her to recount her suffering.
Therefore, as a solution to the crisis, another famous person was hired to record everything related to her family, without revealing whether the narration in the voice of the unknown character would cover sections other than those related to the family.
Not Reese Witherspoon
As for the identity of this unknown character, previous leaks said that it was actress Reese Witherspoon, who initially agreed to take the lead, but when implementation began, she apologized for her concerns, so the task was transferred to another character.
The task of choosing the new character was not easy, as many female stars and celebrities were contacted, until the contract was finally concluded, and the audio book project was completed, which originally – according to sources – Britney did not want.
Despite her refusal, she agreed because of the profits
However, and perhaps not surprisingly, the producers were able to convince her to agree to narrate at least part of the book, as audio books currently play a major role in promoting any new book that is put on the market these days, according to the sources.
In any case, in light of the very large accumulation of pre-release sales, it is expected that this book, in both its print and audio versions, will be a major source of increased money for Britney and the Simon & Schuster company that produced it.
In conclusion, the sources expected that sales would rise when the unknown voice owner who narrates parts of the book with Britney in expressions that are influential and attractive to readers is revealed.
