Wow, this guy has got one of the best voices I've ever heard.

Wow....................if he could stay clean he could get a job.

Great voice.

He said he was 2 years clean. If he's been sober maybe its an issue of confidence and opportunity?

I hope someone gives him a chance, sounds like that all he needs.

I hope he turns his life around for the better. That is def a hypnotic speaking voice.

That man will have a solid job by the end of the month. The career-launching platform that is Youtube will not fail him.

I hope so... then he can do some grooming and get his teeth fixed, he'll finally have a face to go with that voice.

Nice !

but what do u think he would spend his money on... if someone gave him a job????

it's just a viscous circle

Wow, impressive.

I hope he gets a second chance...I think he would make the best of it.

fingers crossed

The story doesn't end there. The clip is gaining traction on YouTube and commenters have already begun offering Williams possible job opportunities in Columbus.

And a local morning radio show - Dave and Jimmy on Clear Channel-owned WNCI - will be interviewing Williams Wednesday and has hinted it might offer him work.

"We're going to find some way to help this guy!" the morning duo proclaims on the show's Facebook page.

fingers crossed

Co-sign.

'Golden-voiced' homeless man lands radio spot

YouTube video becomes sensation, draws attention of Ohio show

COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Internet video of a homeless man showing off his self-described "God-given gift of a great voice" has landed him a spot on a local radio show.

A reporter from the Columbus Dispatch came across Ted Williams while Williams was panhandling near Interstate 71 recently. Williams was carrying a sign explaining he was a former radio announcer who had fallen on hard times.

"Any help will be gratefully appreciated," the sign said.

I'm so happy for him and his mother and for the experience that they will be sharing.

Dude could give James Earl Jones a serious run for his money.

This is a really great story. I was super excited to hear that he has been offered many job opportunities from the video! The internet is so cool sometimes

As evidenced by Williams' new haircut, what a difference a day makes. A mere 24 hours after the video went viral, Williams says he's already been offered a bunch of employ...ortunities, including one that's a Ohio citizen's dream job. "The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house," Williams revealed. The Cavs will reportedly have to compete against MTV, the NFL and likely countless more suitors for Williams' services.

He said that he knew that he was being compared to Susan Boyle.

A radio man with golden showers who will eventually be homeless:

I am soooo glad this didn't turn out to be a thread about one of those tired ass amateur singers that everyone raves about these days because we've got too many of them already.

I saw him on the "Today" show this morning. I've heard that voice before (well, similar voices back in the days when DJs had to actually sound professional). He definately has a nice, friendly, silky voice that would be very pleasing to hear announcing songs on a morning show. I'm glad to see he's got some offers and I wish him much success.

I just hope he can get off the drugs and stay off them. On the "Today" show this morning, he looked to me like he was restless in his seat like maybe he was feaming for the drugs. I just hope he was only nervous because he has a great future ahead of him and I'd hate to see him blow it.

What an awesome chance at new life this guy is getting of late. I pray he can keep himself in line enough to take advantage of it.
