‘You’ve Got Mail’ guy didn’t make millions on his AOL voice?
Saw this amazing video about AOL’s “You’ve Got Mail” guy and had to share. Way before email popped up on our phones, there was one voice that gave notice that we had mail on our computers. That voice belongs to Elwood Edwards and he was the sound bites we heard getting mail and using AOL. He didn’t make millions with the cool recording (like stars today would) and he’s just a normal guy. Instead, he has instant notoriety with his passengers as he is an Uber driver. However, I predict he probably will be famous again real soon. Someone in Hollywood will have him booked on a talk show within a week (he’s so cool it’s bound to happen.)
