Blind auditions

Further information: The Voice (American TV series) § Selection process and format

The show began with the Blind Auditions on September 22, 2025. ^[5] In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs face the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If only one coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has one "block" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. This season, a new feature was introduced, dubbed the "Carson Callback." ^[6]
