The Voice is back for Season 4.
RTE’s hit show returns to screens on January 4 2015, with the search for this year’s vocal talent starting in mid October when the filming of the Blind Auditions starts, followed by the Battles in November.
The Voice is back!
The nations hit T.V. format ‘The Voice of Ireland‘ is back for its fourth-consecutive year!
We are looking for new and undiscovered talent.
If you are over 18 and believe that you have a true vocal talent, we want you!
The three phase show focuses solely on the vocal talent of the singer. Age, gender and appearance don’t matter.
Phase one of the ‘blind auditions‘ allows you to perform to the back of four red chairs, occupied by four coaches, all established within the music industry. If they believe you have the talent to win the competition they will spin their chair to face you. If two coaches turn, the power falls into your hands, you choose whose team you want to join.
Phase two consists of the battle round. After being mentored and guided by your coach, you will perform against another member of your team. The added twist of the ‘steal‘ option allows other coaches to pick you for their team if you lose your battle.
Phase three is the live shows. The public tunes in to live and follow live twitter feeds, they have the power to vote and keep you in.
The winner gets a recording contract with Universal Ireland.
