Black Female Philly Memoir Narrator/No AI

I’m turning my 50-thousand-word memoir into an audiobook and need a seasoned African-American female voice that instantly feels Philadelphia. Think the lived-in cadence of a woman 50 +, someone who can project strength and assertiveness without losing warmth when the story softens.

The manuscript is final, roughly 5–6 hours of finished audio. I will supply it as a clean Word file with clear chapter breaks and pronunciation notes for a handful of neighborhood names and slang. You record, edit, and deliver ready-to-upload audiobook files that meet typical ACX specs (44.1 kHz / 192 kbps MP3, consistent RMS, peaks below –3 dB, and no background noise). Would like to add ambient sound on a few of the chapters

Please include in your proposal:
• A short sample in your natural Philadelphia accent, ideally reading memoir or narrative copy.
• Confirmation you can maintain a strong, assertive tone throughout the book.
• Your timeline for producing mastered files and any round of pickups you include.

If you have prior memoir or urban fiction credits, let me know—links to Audible titles are welcome. Looking forward to hearing that unmistakable Philly voice bring my story to life.
