How does The Voice South Africa work?
The competition involves blind auditioning, where the performers sing before an audience and judges, although the singer cannot be seen. This makes it easier for the judges to make a fair judgment about the candidates' technique and voice quality without being distracted by their appearances.
During The Voice SA auditions, the judges sit on seats that automatically turn away from the stage before a candidate goes up on stage to perform. If a judge is impressed by a candidate's performance, they communicate their feedback by pressing the I Want You button. When they do so, their seats automatically rotate, and for the first time, they can see the candidate. Before giving their remarks, the judges are allowed to comment on the candidate's performance, although, after pressing the button, they cannot make any uncensored comments about the performance.
At the end of the auditions, the candidates proceed to the next level to go through coaching by the top-performing artist. The artists work hand in hand with a team of professionals to coach the candidates. The candidates go through several knockout rounds and battle rounds, and the best candidates proceed to the live final rounds. The coaches do not only train the candidates but at times perform with them.
