- Ted Williams, a homeless Ohio man with a golden radio voice has already received job offers after this video, first posted by The Columbus Dispatch, made him an online sensation. (Jan. 5)
Fun fact: Every radio announcer has great hair
He fixes his hair and then he becomes a radio announcer.
You know you came here from the CZcams short, right?
@@Whiskers--5 I already knew about this guy but I came back because of the youtube short.
Frasier crane?
I like his hair
Him saying "thank you so much" cheers me up every time
Thank you so much
@@darkmatter2132 You're welcome
"2 minutes clean" 👍
He look so humble.
Two minutes clean..
Just remembered this guy, 10 years later. Glad to see he's doing well.
Back on the streets baby alcohol always wins
@@Cambaudio Nope, not anymore.
@@Cambaudio not like you think it does
@@Cambaudio what you on, he's still in radio and doing well
@@b0sspls622 Is he?
He sounds like one of the podcast hosts you would hear on a GTA radio.
Fr🤣🤣
Cris Formage, am I right?
espantoso.
I wish he will be in GTA VI. Seriously. 🤩
There's a probability that he DID do some work with them. Video game land is ridiculously expansive (and expensive) these days.
Imagine this guy hiding inside your house and speak loudly and you think that this is the voice of your local radio 😂
😀😀
Perfect camouflage
@@spandexspleen perfect prank idea you mean
Exactly😁

was not expecting that
What was you expecting?
Me too
Who are you? I see you everywhere.
Taco Stacks leave you KEKW
honestly i thought it was a cop recording, and the "natl buzz" in the title made me think he was gonna get tazed
Homelessness has to be one of the worst situations to be in. It’s a blessing that this man was able to overcome that nightmare. I’m very happy for him.
It is.
He didn't overcome that... He ruined it. He's a failure. A drug addict.
Lots of respect for Ted. Even though he was homeless, he didn't give up on life. He wasn't ashamed of showing his talent to strangers
The moment he said "but then alcohol and drugs become part of my life" it broke my heart. Because he once was a 14 year old boy inspired with a dream.
But now he is a celebrity so everything played out in the and google Ted Williams voice
That is why a man must be extremely cautious of what friends to pick!
Drugs bad okay...🤣
now hes worth over 5 million dollars
Wait what happened?
He looks so positive this is wholesome asf. I wanna be his friend
Yes
What's ur deal 🙄
we all wanna be his friend
He looks like Obama's long lost brother
15 yr old kids wana be friends wit a 60 yr old homeless drug addict? I'm sure that will work at well
Thanks so much to this guy 11 years ago who kept his hope and never stopped dreaming everyday, seeking for a chance and having those sparkling eyes. He would've been hungry cold and lonely. But he kept on doing what he could do. What a story.
His voice and tone are unbelievable. I could listen to him talk forever. He seems like a very fine and intelligent gentleman.
Times changes...In 2021, he is a celebrity and making millions through voice overs and TV shows. :))
MUHAMMAD SHABBIR oh really I'm happy for him
What ist His Name?
@@irmavanguard4097 Ted Williams, Golden Voice Man.
Is he really?
@@TheFaizanCh yes. I did last night. But it appears he’s back to hard times. 🥲
This makes me so sad and happy that today in 2014 he has an amazing life and just :')
Hey its 2021 hope ur okay
heya there
Hello 2014 I'm 2021
Ahh the golden 2014s. And 2015s, 2016s and the first half of 2017s.
I miss 2014
Amazing voice love it and it matches his looks perfectly... beautiful inside and out
Sounds like u want to have his 10th kid
Very sad to see someone with such talent and a wonderful voice. Hopefully someone snags this guy up and gives him a job.👍🏼🤩❤️
Umm
Something tells me you've been living under a rock son
Uh huh.....
A little bit of searching on youtube and you'll find that he has gotten tons of support since the exposure of his video!
Drugs
10 years later and I still smile every time he says he's 2 years clean. You can tell how proud he is of himself, so glad this video gave him another chance at life 💙
hey
there, Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But, girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Inspirational. I'm watching this 10yrs after the video was posted. I pray this guy got a break on radio or TV.
This man is an inspiration! I hope he is still using that awesome voice to make a living. Ted Williams to boot!!!! What a triple crown this guy has; the name, the voice, the heart!
It's amazing his voice wasn't wrecked from years of rough living / drugs / homeless living and could still hold onto that velvet/gold quality once more. Bravo.
Sounds like he never smoked, that's the one thing he probably knew to stay away from.
@@molacarthy9173 No, actually it has that voice just because of smoke.
I started smoking 8 years ago to change my voice and it has only worked a little. there are moments where I have golden voice and I'm like yeah it worked but I smoke 10 joints a day now. worth it though
thats the stupidest reason to smoke ive ever heard @@jordanmntungwa3311
Theres an update on this same guy, that homeless man who became a meme for his radio voice is now living a great life, and because of going viral he now has a job in the entertainment industry and is no longer homeless.
Link?
I was hoping he was doing well.
@@brockhuffaker4361 search up Ted Williams
@DWTZ ONE wow way to go Judge! So glad you judged EVERYONE with the same problem. Wow, the justice system would move quick with you. I bet you're the kind of person who can tell a person is guilty just by lookin' at'em right?
@DWTZ ONE he actually did relapse, before recovering. He went in rehab. Again, search it up.
its crazy how homeless people have been inspiring me more than celebrities lately...
This homeless guy received a lot of great opportunities to change but he is still homeless to this day. He says he is sober but I am not sure how that is true.
@@businessdoubt don't know where you got that information from but that isn't true, he even ran for governor in Ohio two years ago
This puts a HUGE smile on my face.😄 I'm really glad someone gave this man a chance.
10 years! Wow...I remember this like it was yesterday.
I know right!!!
😂😂😂حلوة
me too I remember it was jan 1 2011
The sincerity of his sentance "I'm hoping one day" really moved me. So happy for him.
I'm so happy he is doing well for himself nowadays. He's gotten cleaned up, and he is quite successful. I give this man huge props for having a natural talent of having, truly, a golden voice. :)
To see what he has become now just warms my heart
When I found out he was hired, I was so glad I started tearing up, man
@TedWilliam on CZcams 😁
My goodness!!!!! That voice is one to reckon with.
GREAT!!!
I hope he got the opportunity he wanted and needed. Anyone can mess up, but it takes courage to ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES, AND MOVE AHEAD TO BETTER DAYS. Best of luck to him.
That is seriously the greatest radio voice I’ve ever heard. It’s the perfect delivery. Tone is off the charts.
"radio is theater of the mind"
Radio was that, these days it is no more.
Quién más vino por el Short de Locofer?😅❤

I just searched “man has beautiful voice” and this come 😢
My friend met him
The thumbnail looks like homeless Obama
Underrated ASF
LAMO
kinda rude but ok
@@jaredpioroda156 not rude if it’s true
Underrated ASF HAHAAHAHAHHAHA
i can honestly say that I feel so happy for the man, he lost and found himself and purpose on his life!!!
the guy who recorded this probably didn't think he would of changed this mans life. because of this video, i hear Ted Williams on my local radio station reading the weather forecast every day.
This is the only man to ever USE HIS FAME TO GET SOBER. Todays day and age its always the other way around. Nothing but praise to this man.🙌🙌
Its been 10 years but when i listen to this again give me chills the best voice 👍
Great voice and great personality. Thx for sharing.
This both breaks my heart and makes me so happy to know that he is in a much better phase of his life alcohol and addiction are one of the worst, crippling and debilitating evils in this world. This man is one of the VERY few lucky ones to have a happy ending with addiction
I remember him. He can do anything with that voice. Its a gift that finally paid off.
Beautiful. Someone needs to give this guy a job. TWO yrs clean. Hes ready to start over
I listen to radio every single day. I only once listened to a voice that made my mind travel. Having a voice like this can literally make people happy from nothing.
Legend watching in 2021
Bless this man u can tell he a kind soul
Wow, it was 10 years ago! I remember this video, just came to watch it one more time.
Why is CZcams coming up with nice short old videos nowadays
Just because something is old, it doesnt become irrelevant or less enjoyable. So, dont ask. Enjoy.
they tryna help with covid depression
because those vids made an impact on most people's lives
CZcams is played out
Quien más vino por el vídeo de LocoFer?

I cry to see what he was😢. It brings me joy to see what he is now. 😊
What an amazing voice!!!
now thats a golden voice, my man is making millions right now, really deserves it. what a voice...
Millions? Really? He is NOT the Ted Williams with a net worth of 5 millon dollars btw, that is a baseball player with the same name
@@orenmauritzen8674 ok?
This man truly has a heart of gold
From many sources:
After the video went viral, Williams received job offers, money, and clothes from people who were touched by his story. He revealed in a January 2013 segment for Today that he was living in an apartment and was steadily employed as a commercial voice-over artist for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. He also started the Ted Williams Project with Kraft, a non-profit foundation that provides necessities to homeless shelters. Williams spends a lot of his time helping the homeless

In 2021, Williams announced that he was running for Ohio governor
He is now a well-recognized, successful American announcer, radio personality, and voice-over artist
Unexpected twist, he is actually Obama!
HIS LONNG LOST COUSIN
🤣
😂😂
@kether lecter hate to be “THAT” person, but it’s actually spelled, “thoughts” and “exactly”
Didn't say "Uh...Uh" enough.
The voice is unbelievable. He's too talented not to get work.
Actually he got a job in a Radio's company
Je is rich af now haha
This man popped up on my CZcams short... I don't know him but after seeing this... He's Blessed
Wow this was 10 years ago 😳 time flies I'm praying for him
What an amazing story…
Barack Obama and John Kerry spliced together as one being.
Love his voice❤️
Why is this so awesome? 😂
That voice 😱
What an amazing voice!! 🙏
Now has his own YT show....
What a true inspiration to us all
His voice is so crispy
What is "crispy"
Your life is! Not his voice
@@IAMTM509 what do you mean?

Ten years ago only got to see it now he’s honesty I respect
Wishing the very best of luck to this man!!❤
Świetny gość dużo szczęścia 💥👍
Какой же все-таки крутой чувак. Рада, что он достиг высот в этой жизни.
а кто он?
@@redcayman6769нашел, погугли Ted Williams
his voice.. gorgeous...
can't believe it's been a decade since the world discovered him
time really flys
Man with golden voice
it's like, you know that sometimes there's people who's voices don't match their voice? this guy matches his voice perfectly
Amazing. Miracles happen. It’s never too late to start a new beginning.
His voice is absolutely incredible
when i first see and heard here on youtube, i instantly remembered him back in the late ‘70’s
What a beautiful voice he has.
Classic 80s and 90s Radio voice!
Great voice for radio, probably 99% better than most radio host on air now!!
He seems like such a nice guy with potential. Just missing guidance
He is now worth 5 million
Doubt it. He asked me for a ride at a gas station while back in exchange for some cigarettes ...
@@alexroyer8683 look up his name
@@kyezun I'm not kidding. Dude was hitching rides from the gas station in Columbus, OH. Literally a few miles from where this video was filmed lol. Was super nice guy and looked cleaned up, but something is off.
@@kyezun Just looked it up. Article from this year: "Ted Williams appeared on The Tamron Hall Show in January of 2021, about 10 years after his initial viral video. This interview led to a few sad revelations, including that Williams is once again homeless."
That's amazing. He definitely has a great radio/announcer voice.
Wow! Great voice!
He should have been a national treasure. I feel for this guy.
Give him a chance. He deserves it, he seems to be so kind.
So true, I hope this man gets the chances he needs.
I watch this video every once in a while. I sure hope he is able to keep the demons at bay, and live the rest of his life as a success.
So the comments are basically his biography with updates of his current situation
I have noticed you are a verified youtuber
Hahaha
Lol
I have noticed you are a "verified" youtuber
Video always gives me the chills. 🥺
Great voice and a great guy!!
Person: I'm gonna make you work for your dollar
Me: |:[
Homeless man: has such a beautiful voice and smile
Me: :)

This made no sense
10 yrs later and he still could of left that part out 😂
Quien más vino a buscar a Ted William gracias a las historias contadas por Locofer

Yo
he’s super nice and sweet he treated me like his own daughter such a nice man💗.
Absolutely beautiful
Never thought i would see what Barak Obama will be looking like in the future😂😂😂
I came here after watching Rhett and Link talk about the radio voice man.
There you are. I watched this video and one other of you several years ago. As I am also a recovering alcoholic/addict (15 years sober) I've always wondered how you were doing. Congratulations, but you know the drill. One day at a time. That's all we can do. Keep it up brother.
great story and so moving .
Plot twist: he is now making millions 💰 and working tru tv show if he never came on this video who ever made it.
