If you have not heard about Ted Williams (not the baseball player)… then continue reading.
A local reporter spotted Ted Williams on a street advertising his amazing voice. The reporter interviewed Ted and Ted stated that he wanted another chance in radio and he has not used drugs and alcohol the past two years (which help contribute to his current situation).
The reporter posted the video on the Internet and it went viral. Reportedly, someone called a local radio show, Dave and Jimmy, offering $15,000 if they would hire this guy.
The radio show hosts reached out to Ted and interviewed him this morning. Since then voice over job offers have poured in; including one from the Cleveland Cavaliers (which reportedly may include a home and full-time position).
Another report claims that Ted could become a millionaire with all of the voice over offers he has received.
This story illustrates the power of social media, creativity, and the willingness of people to help each other during these difficult times.
Below is a video of the Ted Williams interview.
