My jaw dropped when he started talking. Talk about unexpected. :swoon:

 

[RayShimley]

Holy ****. That sounded like it was dubbed or something. Amazing story, hope he does get a second chance if he is really 2 years clean.

 

[cyclonedave25]

hahaha that is awesome!

 

[LindenCy]

Wow, that is impressive.

You can usually tell when those guys are "clean" or not. He seemed to be. Hope he gets a shot.

It takes a lot of humility as well to beg on the street. I bet this guy is back on his feet in no time and I wish him the best. Seems to be very articulate and well educated. There's a lesson for all of the dropouts out there...granted this guy will get picked up due to his voice talents but without his education he'd have to settle for BK or a Walmart greeter. They can take your money but they can't take your education.

Looks like he's getting an interview:

That was quick, but once this thing hit YouTube you had to figure he would get an interview soon. Good luck to him!

Sounds like he's in high demand at this moment anyways

He sort of resembles a caricature of Obama to me, like if duffy were to draw him

 

[Cyclonepride]

I hope he gets a shot at turning it around. His voice is pretty amazing, and he seems like a bright guy.

Didn't one of the big Hollywood Movie voiceover guys die this last year? This guy could do that job in a heartbeat!

Great news. I hope it works out and that he truly has learned enough to keep his life on track.

That sounds great! I hope that the sudden change in his life status doesn't derail his efforts to stay clean. I can't imagine going from where he is to a mini-celebrity without a lot of stress.
