I received a call from Mark Wade earlier today informing me of the passing of Bill Demar, a legend in the world of ventriloquism.
Bill’s manipulation skills were amazing. He was truly a gifted ventriloquist. More importantly, he was a sharing, caring man who helped many of us improve our skills through his words of wisdom. I’ll always cherish our conversations and emails.
Bill consented to be interviewed as a part of the Ventriloquist Script Writing Course. I often heard from students who questioned the value of his interview before they read the key points extracted from the conversation. These proved that if you listened to all Bill shared, you were being treated to pure gold.
Rest In Peace Bill.
I still fondly remember when I had the privilege of visiting and having lunch with Bill, you Tom, and Neale and his wife at the convention in 2012.
