An Aldridge sixth-form student who relies on a communication device to talk is searching for someone with a regional accent so that he can sound like his family.
18-year-old Daniel Challis who has Cerebral Palsy put the appeal out on social media stating that he doesn’t want to sound like a robot, and now BBC Radio WM is helping him in his search.
Daniel got the idea from comedian Lee Ridley (aka Lost Voice Guy), who has a Geordie accent for his communication device.
Anyone interested who has a Walsall accent is being asked to send their audition audio to Radio WM of them reading the first page of Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone.
