According to PEOPLE, Williams’ voice is used for the majority of the reading with the only exception being an intro read by Spears herself. In a recent statement, Spears shared recording the audio version in addition to writing the tell-all book would have been unbearably emotional.
"This book has been a labor of love and all the emotions that come with it,” Spears said. “Reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook.”
She added, "I am so grateful to the amazing Michelle Williams for reading the rest of it."
Williams — a five-time Oscar-nominated actress best known for television and film roles including Dawson’s Creek, The Fabelmans and Blue Valentine — says she is proud to lend her voice to the project as a supporter of Spears.
“I stand with Britney,” she simply said in a statement to show her support.
The Woman in Me is scheduled to release October 24 via Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The revealing memoir arrives after Spears successfully fought a highly-public court ordered conservatorship back in 2021. The "Gimme More" singer had been under conservatorship for 13 years before giving a passionate testimony that led to an L.A. judge to terminate the arrangement on November 21, 2021.
“Britney’s compelling testimony in open court shook the world, changed laws, and showed her inspiring strength and bravery,” Jennifer Bergstrom, the Senior Vice President and Publisher for Gallery Books said. “I have no doubt her memoir will have a similar impact — and will be the publishing event of the year. We couldn’t be more proud to help her share her story at last.”
