Off the streets. Into the studio.

The feel good story of Thursday.

I’ve enjoyed the likes of those whose voices are just pleasant to listen to: James Earl Jones, Casey Kasem, and the guy whose voice narrated every movie every written, to name a few. There’s now a new name to add to the list. Ted Williams was homeless just days ago. He stood next to the road, advertising his golden voice. Needless to say, his voice lives up to the claim.

An honorably discharged Army veteran, recovered alcohol and drug addict, and proud father and grandfather, Williams has gone from the streets of Columbus Ohio to having job offers from around the world. I can’t wait to see this story unfold, but here is one of Ted’s first interviews:

The movie trailer guy is Don LaFontaine, by the way. A video of him, I can embed:
