From Frank Zafiro The Bastard Mummy
"William has great vocal range. He hit characters right on the head, using his voice to add another measure of characterization to who they were. He seemed to do this instinctively, without direction, in almost every case, drawing from the context of the story to peg who the character was and bring that person to life. In those few instances where he went a different direction than I was looking for, he was very amenable to artistic direction, adjusted, and nailed the character again, in accordance with my request. William also works fast and keeps an open line of communication throughout the project. My experience with him was nothing but positive!"

William Fortier's voice talent brought a down-home realism to the characters in my weird western tale HELL COME SUNDOWN.
