Ted Williams - Homeless man with a golden voice

A homeless man from ohio who would appreciate a job doing voiceovers.
taken from the Dispatch.

"Ted Williams isn't famous -- yet.

A viral video rocketing through cyberspace, however, could soon catapult the homeless panhandler from just a face in the crowd to the next big thing.

Williams solicits money by the side of Interstate 71 in Columbus, Ohio with a sign advertising his "god given gift" of an amazing speaking voice.

His slogan caught the attention of a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch, who interviewed Williams and posted the inspiring clip online Tuesday.

In the clip, the Brooklyn native explains his history in a smooth, polished voice that would sound at home on any major television network.

Williams was introduced to the idea of becoming a "voice" at the age of 14, when he met an announcer on a field trip who told him radio is "theater of mind."

"I just said, well, hey. I can't be an actor, I can't be an on-air personality, but the voice just became something of a development over the years and I went to school for it," Williams says in the video.

"And then alcohol and drugs and a few other things became a part of my life. I've got two years clean, and I'm trying hard to get it back. And hopefully somebody from one of these television or radio stations will say, 'Hey, I need a voice-over.'"

Williams has been hoping someone will help him through his hard times with a job offer -- and it looks like that dream may come true.

Hosts of the radio morning show "Dave & Jimmy" talked about Williams on air Tuesday, prompting a listener to call in and offer $15,000 to have the show hire Williams, according to Reddit.

"Dave & Jimmy" were even able to track Williams down, and will interview him on their show on Wednesday.

"We're going to find some way to help this guy!" they announced on their show's Facebook page.

Ok, so the original video with 13 million views (which was gotten in just 48 hours), which was uploaded by the user 'ritchey', got removed do to Copyright.

Later, popular news shows such as Associated Press, and others, uploaded the video too. After they uploaded it, ritcheys video got removed for copyright! That's wrong!

Copyright is soon going to take over YouTube. Give this comment a thumbs up if you agree.
