'I'm the voice of Radio 1'
A NOTTINGHAM student has become the voice of Radio 1.
David Walker, who will soon graduate from a multimedia degree at Nottingham Trent University, has recorded a number of promotional clips for the station.
He initially entered a competition to be the voice of the Student Radio Awards ceremony but came second place.
Despite the disappointment, David, who is the station manager for the University's Fly FM, was approached by one of the judges.
"He asked me if I'd like to try out to be the new station voice of Radio 1, so a few months later I had an audition and thankfully was successful. I'm now the male voice for all their daytime production. I've been to the studios to record it all. When you hear snippets such as 'This is Radio 1', it's me!"
He added: "I would like a career in broadcast and this is a great start for me. From September I'm Students' Union president for a year and then who knows what's next."

“LOL

he's not really famous and you've not even got a photo of him , probably because he's never done anything news worthy .
