David Tyler (born October 25, 1965) is a Canadian radio personality, voice over artist and lecturer on The Art of Communicating Ideas.
He immigrated to Canada with his family via Hartford, Connecticut at the age of 10 when his father accepted a teaching job at McGill University. Tyler holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Concordia University which he attained in 1990.
Tyler began his radio career at CJFM-FM in Montreal in 1987 when it was known as FM96, an adult contemporary radio station, first as an overnight announcer and then in 1990 and 1991 as the evening then midday announcer respectively. In 2001 he moved to CFQR-FM (Q92) in Montreal where he spent 7 years before retiring from radio to focus on his voice over career. David can still be heard on the air in Montreal as an occasional guest announcer on CKBE-FM "The Beat of Montreal" and does one-on-one coaching with up-and-coming radio stars.
Tyler actually began his voice over career before his professional radio career. His career was born while studying at John Abbott College in the Creative Arts department and volunteering at the campus radio station Q-SKY (named after the famed radio station in the film FM), when he was approached by the McGill Dental School to play the animated "Mr. Mouth" in an educational video for children. To this day he continues to lend his voice to animated characters on TV in Arthur, Caillou, Mona the Vampire and others.
