SAG-AFTRA Actor & Audiobook Narrator

Suzen Baraka is a NYC/LA-based audiobook narrator, who leverages her talents as a SAG-AFTRA actor and spoken word poet, and her past experiences as a corporate lawyer to efficiently deliver detail-oriented and dynamic audiobook performances.

As an American actress and queer woman of Black and Korean descent, Suzen prays her voice serves as a bridge reimagined.

sample library

I am a lover of books relating to African-American and/or Korean culture and history, with a soft spot for creative fiction and non-fiction, biographies and poetry.

However, my favorite stories are based in science-fiction, and more specifically, Afro-futurism, YA, and fantasy fiction.
