Theodore Fred Williams (born September 22, 1957), also known as The Man with the Golden Voice,[2] is an American announcer,[3][4] radio personality,[5] and voice-over artist.[6]

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Williams first gained minor fame in the early 1980s, as a late-night radio disc jockey on WVKO in Columbus, Ohio. After over a decade in radio, Williams was dismissed in 1994 for alcoholism and drug abuse, and he soon found himself homeless.

In January 2011, Williams received widespread media attention when an interview,[7] filmed during a period when he was homeless, went viral after being posted to YouTube, and Williams subsequently received numerous job offers. For the first time in almost 20 years, Williams found himself steadily working. He co-authored A Golden Voice: How Faith, Hard Work, and Humility Brought Me from the Streets to Salvation with Bret Witter. He is the founder of the Ted Williams Project, a non-profit organization serving homeless shelters. He also has been on WATP live a podcast about podcasts.[8]
