Ted Golden Voice Williams

Ted ‘Golden Voice’ Williams, a veteran radio personality and voice-over artist known for his distinctive vocal talent, gained international attention in January 2011 when a video filmed by Doral Chenoweth of the Columbus Dispatch went viral. This public exposure, following an early career that included working as a late-night radio disc jockey on WVKO in Columbus, Ohio, in the early 1980s, led to an outpouring of support and immediate job offers from major entities. Williams quickly secured prominent voice-over work, becoming the official announcer for the Cleveland Cavaliers and contributing to national advertising campaigns for MSNBC and Kraft Foods in the same month. His inspiring journey was further chronicled in his book, ‘A Golden Voice: How Faith, Hard Work, and Humility Brought Me from the Streets to Salvation,’ co-authored with Bret Witter.

Building on this resurgence, Williams continued to expand his career as a highly sought-after announcer and voice-over artist. In 2011, he became the official voice of New England Cable News (NECN) and lent his distinctive vocals to national campaigns, including Pepsi’s ‘Joy of Pepsi’ commercials. He also ventured into film, appearing in ‘Houseless’ (2013), ‘My Crazy Ex’ (2014), and ‘The Game Done Changed’ (2017). Demonstrating his commitment to philanthropy, Williams founded The Ted Williams Project with Kraft in January 2013, a non-profit foundation dedicated to providing essential necessities to homeless shelters.

He continues to actively work as an announcer, radio personality, and voice-over artist, leveraging his unique voice and life experience to connect with and motivate audiences across various platforms.
