“When waiver of the right to counsel rests upon the defendant's election of his alternative right of self-representation, `the record should reflect a finding on the part of the trial court that the defendant has validly chosen to proceed pro se. The record should also show that this choice was made after the defendant was made aware of his right to counsel and the dangers of proceeding without counsel.' Clarke v. Zant, 247 Ga. 194, 197 , 275 S.E.2d 49 (1981).”
