Contents

What makes La Voz different from any other talent program is that, during the Blind auditions, participants can only be chosen based on their voice. Four music personalities will have their chairs turned, with their backs facing the stage, so nothing about the contestant's physical appearance can intervene in the selection process. Once the teams are picked they are then trained by their coach. In the second stage, coaches pit two of his/her team members against each other, singing the same song, with the respective coach choosing which team member should advance. In the semi-finals, the remaining contestants compete with each other on a live broadcast. The television audience then votes to decide who advances. When only one remains for each coach, the four contestants compete with each other in the final. The winner receives a monetary prize and a record contract with Universal Music Group.

Universal Music Group American music corporation

In 2019, Fast Company named Universal Music Group the most innovative music company and listed UMG among the Top 50 most innovative companies in the world and "amid the music industry's digital transformation, Universal is redefining what a modern label should look like."

Format

Throughout the competition, several stages are included, as:

National casting

In the national casting, participants in 15 broadcasts are selected. The coaches do not attend this initial phase but members of the production team team do. The casting procedure can be online or in person in any of the following cities:

In the first season, auditions began on June 23, 2018.

Stage 1: The Blind Auditions

The four coaches' chairs will have their backs to the participants, allowing them to judge a contestant based only on their voice. If the coach likes the participant's voice, he/she will press the "I WANT YOU" button, turning the chair around. When the judge is facing the participant this indicated that they have been selected to advance. If more than one coach presses the button, the participant will have the option to decide who they want to work with in the competition. If a participant doesn't have any judges turn their chairs they are then eliminated.

Stage 2: The Battles

In this stage; the coaches will reduce their team by half by putting two members (or three members, in some cases) of their team into battle against each other, singing the same song. At the end each coach will make the decision on who should move onto the next stage, the other will be eliminated. However, other coaches have the ability to steal an eliminated contestant by pressing the "I WANT YOU" button. If more than one coach presses the button, the participant will choose their new coach. During this point coaches also have the ability to bring in outside advisers to help them coach their contestants.

Stage 3: Live Shows

This is the last stage. The participant named La Voz (U.S.) must have two important points: the approval of his/her coach and great public acceptance. Though different seasons apply different mechanics, the only thing that is the same is that each participant performs live for an audience to receive the public's vote. In this stage participants can be saved by the public, another coach or be eliminated. In the finale there will be 4 participants left and the winner will be called La Voz U.S.
