WATCH: Dave Starke enters The Voice SA

ESHOWE musician, Dave Starke will be auditioning to be a contestant on The Voice South Africa next week.

The show, due to air next year on DSTV (Channel 101) will feature 4 South African celebrity coaches, Bobby van Jaarsveld, Lira, Karen Zoid and Kahn Morbee, who will develop talented singers in the series.

Dave’s audition video of him sing ‘My baby just cares for me’ for The Voice was successful and he will attend the fast-track auditions in Durban on 23 October.

He said this about his decision to enter the national contest;

‘So for many years I have resisted entering any talent shows on TV. Partly because I don’t even have a TV and also because I think as a musician you need to pay your dues before you go public’.

‘But this opportunity has come along and I’m going to give it a crack – THE VOICE SOUTH AFRICA. Let’s put Eshowe on the map. If nothing else it will hopefully allow me to introduce my friend Nick Holmes to LIRA!’

Have a look at Dave Starke’s audition video below.

More about The Voice South Africa

The Voice comprises three phases. Once the best singers are identified at open auditions, they go through to the ‘blind audition’ phase, where the coaches listen to them sing without seeing them.

If a coach is interested in a singer, he or she pushes a button that swivels their chair around to face the contestant. If more than one coach turns their chair, the contestant has the opportunity to pick which coach he or she would prefer to work with.

Next the show moves on to the ‘battle rounds’, where each coach pairs up two of his or her contestants to perform together, and then chooses only one to go through.

The last phase is the live show round, where the remaining contestants sing for the public’s votes, until one singer is named the winner of The Voice South Africa.

Good Luck Dave, Zululand is rooting for you!
