Ep.53 How I Started A Singing Teaching Business With David Valks
What’s it like to turn your back on the corporate world and become your own boss? 18 months ago David Valks quit his career in recruitment and started his own vocal coaching business. David joins Bronwyn this week on Singing Teachers Talk to chat about how he got into singing teaching and what BAST has done for him.
KEY MOMENTS
‘You always remember the singing teachers you had when you were younger and that inspires you’
‘It gave me a foundation and all the fundamentals I needed to start as a singing teacher’
‘Some people want a strict formal teacher, that’s not me, I want to have fun’
‘You learn from the student too’
RELEVANT LINKS & MENTIONS
ArtsEd School
D'Oyly Carte Opera Company
ABOUT THE GUEST
David is a singing teacher, podcaster, and founder of the David Valks Singing School on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
He started singing at a young age and was lucky to be trained by an amazing singing teacher in Scotland. He still uses the tools and techniques that he learned back then to this day. The impact that this teacher was one of the reasons he went on to become a teacher himself.
David studied Musical Theatre for three years at Arts Educational in London. After graduating, he performed in the West End, with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, toured the UK many times (Joseph, Pirates of Penzance, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and A Christmas Carol) and travelled the world as a lead vocalist for a cruise line.
He completed the BAST programme for singing teachers before starting his singing studio.
