...that he is being brought on board by Divas World Productions to head up a very special project. “Little Divas” will be a music education wing of Divas World Productions, nurturing young talent ages 8-12. Participants will be exposed to vocal technique, master classes in pop, jazz and classical genres, and perform in concert as part of the Divas Youth Show Choir.
Says Mr. LaDuca, “Divas World is such an interesting organization, always pushing the envelope with their diverse and intellectually stimulating salon series, it seemed a natural fit to get more of Houston’s kids exposed to music in a way that no one else can offer.”
Interested participants are invited to attend a unique workshop experience for acceptance into the 12 week program. There are scholarship opportunities available based on artistic promise and financial need.
Currently starring as Mr. Pesckow, the principal of a performing arts academy on the TV sitcom “The Wannabes, starring Savvy,” LaDuca understands the impact television has on our youth. “Because the TV show Glee has been such a tremendous hit nationally, our format will be a great way for our young artists to express themselves. And as creator of “Hip’nFit Fun Club!” the healthy lifestyle program for kids, I’m very interested in empowering our kids to become healthier contributors to society and enriching our budding young artists as they contribute in their own way.”

Here's what some students are saying:
"Since working with David, I have been able to increase and strengthen my breathing and vocal range. He tailors my lessons to my particular strengths and ability. I have also built up enough self confidence to audition for more musicals. Thanks David!"
- John Carmona, actor/singer
"The auditioner immediately asked if I had been studying with you. She said that was the strongest she has ever heard me sing a song and it sounded fantastic. Major kudos to you, David!"
- Kristin Clark, actress/singer
"What you taught me has helped immensely! Our play was reviewed last week and I want to THANK YOU because 95% of my part is yelling and I couldn't have done it and sustained it without hurting my voice without your help!"
- Sherin Solara, actress
"I have been working with David for only a few weeks and have loved every minute of it. The voice exercises he has shown me have help tremendously in preparing for my auditions. He is very energetic as well as fun to work with. I feel if you give yourself to the lesson that you will connect with him in some way. David is very knowledgeable in theatre, dance, and music. Even though I had previous voice training before I met David, he has helped me expand my craft. I recommend anyone interested in voice lessons or needing help with auditions to contact David."
- Brian Chambers, actor/singer, Musical Theatre Scholarship Candidate, Point Park College
"David's lessons are so much fun and I love the songs he chose for me. I am very ready for my next audition!"
