It doesn't always work. But I think it's the right place to start.
Be yourself, call your game, and there isn't much you can do beyond that.

Someone is going to notice you doing it right.

But do not over extend and get into making calls all over the floor.
That is just going to make the issue worse for you and easier for your partner.

If it is an elephant and has to be made that is one thing, but let your partner hang himmself.
