I've noticed that a lot of people's phone guys just straight up say these random things and even say some things in an excited tone. So I have some tips on how to make a good phone guy.

Tip 1: Don't make your phone guy tell you about the animatronics just at the beginning at the phone call. "Hi, welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The animatronics malfunction here." doesn't sound good at all, you have to make them say it mid-phone call, like this: "Hello? Hello? Hello? Hey! Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, the location you'll be working at as the night guard! Now, even though you're a night guard, there should really be nothing to worry about. We have plenty of security that should keep you safe in the rare event that someone enters the Pizzeria. Yeah, who'd wanna break into a Kids' Pizzeria, you know? Heh....oh....um....well.....those animatronics there....on the show stage.....well....um....I don't know how to put this...." and so on.

Tip 2: Don't make them say the animatronics' names unless it's a really good phone call. I'd be okay with "Uh....well....there's a strange character in the Back Room now....uh.....the staff dubbed him "Timothy"..." but not with "Hey, a character named Timothy is in the Back Room now."

Tip 3: Don't use exclamation marks. You can use them once or twice in the game, but not all the time. The beginning of a phone call is the exception. "Hey! Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!" Is accepted. However "...so close the doors!!" is not okay.

Tip 4: Make them seem reluctant. That's part of the greatness of Phone Guys, they use "um" and "uh" a lot to show they're reluctant at their Terrifying Job. "Um....like I was saying....those animatronics...uh....they might....wander.......a bit...."

Tip 5 (also the final tip): Never, and I mean NEVER, have your Phone Guy call on the "secret 8th night" if your game has it. NEVER. The custom night is somewhat annoying, but if there are any secret nights, NEVER have a phone call. NEVER!!!!!!!!

So those are my tips for making a good phone call. I hope you listen to them.
