Homeless TED Williams Best Voice Ever's Success
Ted, all cleaned-up but still has that old jacket of his.. |
"The Columbus Dispatch discovered a homeless man along Ohio's I-71 claiming to have "the God-given gift of voice," and what began as your everyday viral video has exploded into a life-changing experience for one man. He was a panhandler; now he's the most in-demand voice personality in the world, thanks to offers from countless radio stations, voiceover gigs and even the Cleveland Cavaliers.
His name is Ted Williams, and he's an ex-radio announcer according to the note he scrawled on a piece of cardboard that he used to solicit change from drivers. And wow, does Williams ever deliver for a dollar. Williams tells the Dispatch about his struggles, but thankfully "alcohol and drugs and a few other things" haven't diminished Williams' velvety vocal cords, and he says he's two years clean now.
"I have a god given gift of voice. I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times. Please! Any help will be greatfully appreciated. Thank you and God bless. Happy holidays," reads Williams' roadside sign for help."
Despite the hard times of the radio industry, it did not stop his video-clip discovery that gave the viral power to literally change his life--for the BETTER! He's gotten a full-time job and a house via the Cleveland Cavaliers. And it's not just one offer, but multiple ones from MTV, the NFL and perhaps more!
