Who is the voice of JT Leroy on the criterion dvd?

Does anyone know?
Included on the Dvd is a phone-conversation between JT Leroy and Jonathan Caouette where they discuss the film-
Is it Savannah Knoop or Laura Albert ?

I just assumed it was Laura. I read somewhere that she would do all the phone interviews and she just used Savannah for JT’s public appearances. It makes more sense if it’s Laura.
(also, that bitz really hogged the interview, huh? i mean, what she had to say was interesting enough and I like that she seemed to be a real fan but all that stuff about knowing a shark when you meet one and different types of street kids “he’d” encounters and being a prostitute really prepared “him” for the publishing world? it’s like damn, did you have to lie so excessively? shut up about your made up life and let jon talk about his honest experiences or how bout neither of you do that and keep it focused on the film. that bitch loved her some tangents.)

Was this taped after Leroy was, uh, exposed?
