davemadson (full name: David Neal Madson) is an American YouTuber, who is best known for his text to speech (TTS) videos, and his bloopers content. He first
joined YouTube on April 2007 under the name "dnm728", then under "dnm72863" in 2008, then on February 14, 2010 under the channel name "dnm728part3" then finally on April 15, 2011 as "davemadson". Due to his switching accounts every few years up to 2011, and the deletion of "davemadson" in 2014, a majority of his videos remain lost. Dave himself via Discord call has confirmed that he has backups of videos on various CD-Roms (pre-September 2013) and on an external harddrive (post-September 2013), and he also said he thinks he's made approx. 1100-1300 videos since starting in 2007.
On May 25, 2024, he announced he would be starting a summer event titled "davemadson Summer Classics", wherein he will post videos from his dnm728part3 run, marking the first time most of the videos from that era have been seen since the channel's 2011 deletion.
