If I had the money, I'd hire him to narrate my daily adventures myself but I don't.

    Just proves never judge a book by its cover. And if I had the cash I would totally hire him just to narrate my life as it happened......

    This video is going viral. He'll probably be employed by the end of the week. That is, if there is still hope in America.

    No kidding!
    My first year of architecture courses, I had this drafting professor that spoke just like that, only softer, or gentler, so any time he'd be talking I'd feel like I was being told a bed time story and I'd end up asleep in minutes. The few chicks in there were quite enamored too.

    Man, good luck to that guy.

    Link doesn't work for me either but I caught this on another site. This guy is incredible. I speak as part of my living almost every day and my father was a singer. But this guy's voice is the archetypal Broadcast Voice. Amazing! Hope something comes through for him and he sorts his life out!

    Ok, hypothetical.

    Homeless guy or Bruce Buffer introducing you to a room of people?

    Wait, lets make it more fair - not main event 'It's TIME' Bruce, just undercard Bruce.

    Depends

    If Bruce does that quick flip with his cue cards saying something like "And ARRIVING from the great state of Pennsylvania by way of New Jersey; standing 5 foot 7 and weighing in at 175 pounds..." while I'm walking in the door, that would be awesome. Definitely Bruce.

    BUT!

    If they could get golden voiced homeless guy to do a whole "SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!" deal while announcing my arrival and throw a "You'll pay for the whole seat but you'll only need the EDGE...The Edge...the edge..." in there, definitely homeless guy at that point.
