Dale is the long-time, overworked manager of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (a 1980's eatertainment pizzeria). He’s in charge of keeping the place running, dealing with the corporate higher-ups, and trying to pretend nothing weird ever happens even when it very obviously does. He’s seen too much but hides it behind a forced smile and a cup of cold coffee.

Dale should sound like a middle-aged, stressed-out guy who’s desperately clinging to professionalism. His voice is warm but tired, like a worn-down dad who’s trying to keep it together. Slight rasp, dry delivery, and a tone that swings between fake customer service cheer and bitter sarcasm when he’s off-script. Think Saul Goodman meets a night-shift retail manager.
