I haven’t been on here in a while so I’m a bit dusty. Any help is appreciated!

“Bella, there’s going to be a gathering today!” is a dialogue, so you have to put a character talking before that just like you did for BRITTANY.

3

If you are wanting the dialogue to be done but the person on the phone do:
NARRATOR (CHAR NAME)
Bella, there’s going to be a gathering today!

4

But my character is Bill Salazar, he’s doing the phone animation during the dialogue.

5

BILL SALAZAR (listen_phone_neutral_loop)
Bella, there’s going to be a gathering today!

OR:

@BILL SALAZAR starts listen_phone_neutral_loop
BILL SALAZAR
Bella, there’s going to be a gathering today!

Notes
*If you’re having Bill say this, you should use a talking on the phone instead of listening on the phone animation.

The pattern to follow is:

CHAR (animation)
Dialogue.

And in regards to NARRATOR:

Example:

NARRATOR
Alissa uses a fake name.

NARRATOR
Onto chapter 3.

You can’t have just Dialogue alone with no character speaking/thinking it or no narrator saying it.

Thank you, I’m having trouble coding lol!

It actually works in the previewer for me when I don’t have to repeat NARRATOR
