Brady Walsh

Vocal Coach & Arts Leader

Currently available for speaking and visiting teaching engagements. Private voice lessons are running on a wait list for Spring 2026.

Brady is a multi-disciplinary teacher, creator, and arts leader. He is the Artistic Director of Carpe Diem Theater in Round Lake, NY where he oversees all productions, develops workshops with visiting teaching artists for their ROOTS master class series, and directs their Showcase program. As part of Showcase, the Capital Region's brightest young performers, ages 16-22, workshop material on-site before making their debuts in New York City. Opening pathways for young people has been central to Mr. Walsh's career, as he spent the better part of a decade as the Associate Director of the Metropolitan Opera’s Laffont Competition, evaluating singers across the country and in auditions at the Met.

Brady also runs a private voice studio, BTW Voice, comprising 40+ high school and college students, young professionals, and adults between New York's Capital Region and New York City. He holds degrees in Music Education and Music Business, as well as a Certificate of Opera Performance, from the Crane School of Music. His teaching and speaking engagements include the Manhattan School of Music, New England Conservatory, Opera Saratoga, Taos Opera Institute, The National Association for Teachers of Singing (NATS), and the Crane School of Music, to name a few.

As an actor, he has performed leading roles with regional and community theaters in the metropolitan New York area. Additionally, Brady has completed a course of study in libretto writing through Einhorn School of Performing Arts and gone on to write an original full-length musical about Georgia O’Keeffe, The Artist, currently in development.


“Working with Brady is always a pleasure! His experience as an arts administrator, talent scout and arts advocate is always inspiring, refreshing and a breath of fresh air! Brady believes in identifying and working with remarkable young talent at the highest level and witnessing his work first hand always gives me hope in the future of the arts.”
