Hey guys, I actually wrote this bulletin for today's release, but I thought I should put a copy over here for you to look over. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Good morning everyone,

I have some news for you all this morning: Teddy Bears on Brigade in now on PocketFM. I probably would have announced this before, but I've had... a few communication issues with them since this whole process started, so I didn't even know that it had been released until I was informed by a reader on the EU discord (Name omitted for privacy, but you know who you are)

For those of you that don't know, PocketFM is an audiobook service which allows readers to unlock what they're reading by chapter, instead of buying the entire book at once. From what I understand it's a more common format in the Asian countries, but not so popular around here.

I'll be honest, I really struggled with whether I was going to sign a contract with them or not. Their process makes use of extensive AI processes... AI art and AI narration (Although they do use a service that actually pays people for the use of their voice instead stealing it.) While I understand the reasons why they do it that way, I'm presonally very uncomfortable with that level of AI.Then why did I accept the deal?Well, for two reasons: First of all, I like to eat. My expenses have been extremely tight the last few months and this deal gave me a little bit of breathing room. Call me a sell out if you must, it's kept a roof over my head. And second: I have been asked repeatedly when the audiobook for TBoB is coming out. I actually get far more inqueries about the audiobook than the ebook, and it's by quite a large margin; Which makes me feel bad when I'm still having trouble finding the time and mental focus to get the TBoB ebook assembed and submitted for approval to Amazon. The truth is I'm unlikely to have the money to put together a proper audiobook for TBoB for quite awhile, and this give people AN option to listen to TBoB.

I have maintained full rights to my story, and I can release an audiobook later if my situation changes, all that PocketFM has is the right to broadcast books 1-5 of TBoB.

I'm not trying to convince anyone to try it, but I do think it's worth mentioning that you can listen to the complete first book for free. It's up to you if you want to try it.That's it for now. If you want to check it out you can find it here:Teddy Bears on PocketFM

Thanks all. Talk to you again soon.

Teddy Bears on Brigade | Audio Series on Pocket FM

Sixteen-year-old scavenger Evelyn Claire survives an Antithesis attack and awakens as a Vanguard, gaining access to Nyx, an advanced AI system that...

AI is simply another tool and having looked up pocketfm the only problems I found were users having access issues to content they had access to previously. I do have problems with AI readers (yes I can tell despite all the improvements) but I will still be trying it. Glad you are getting some more income

Coleman

Just be wary of the contracts. I’m sure no one has problems with you getting the bag. Admittedly it will probably do better in the Asian market.

Tis hard to stand on morals when you need food. Honestly I'm fine with this. Hope it does well!

Is PocketFM company's offerings is big in Asia?

i'm just wondering, did they give Teddy bigger boobs? like what? Ai choices could use a bit more work to follow your descriptions. Oh, one other question, does it use multiple ai voices for multiple character voices? a voice actor would try to modify their voice, but ai's tend to not have the recognition needed to notice it.

Coleman

A bunch of their series are translated web novels. I assumed they translated English works into the local language.

I provided them with reference materials, mostly my small collection of cover art, and they made the cover themselves. I didn't get a chance to see it before the book was released; Communication between PocketFM and I has been spotty, and I didn't even know the story had been released. I'm still trying to reach them to go over a few outstanding issues so... yeah. Unfortuantely I don't haev much say about the stuff they do on their side. As for the voices... I'm ashamed to say, I don't know. I litterally found out about the launch yesterday, and wasn't given a preview, so I haven't had a chance to listen. I was planning to give it a try yesterday. I do know that only one or two voice actors are listed in the credits so... that might mean only one or two character voices.

Wombat's Writings

Yeah, when I first got a message from them I did some background work to make sure they weren't shady or anything, and athough I foudn some people with very minor issues, they seemed to be on the up and up. Even after that, I took awhile to think about the offer, it wasn't an easy choice.

So far I’d say it’s human possibility run through a synthesizer but I was on my really bad speakers when I checked the site but they were definitely doing different voices. I personally love the cover art and just figured Nyx was having fun with the armor (because I honestly didn’t notice her boobs, I was to sidetracked with the face and the bears). I’ll be able to say more when I’m listening at work tomorrow, historic buildings really draw out the audio issues

M R

So there are attempts at doing different voices, the human voices sound like they went through autotune. There are a few points I think AI stepped in to fix a recording mistakes? Not 100% sure. It’s certainly fun to listen to and it help makes work go faster as I wait for things to dry.
