Logo used for the BBC version

The Vocalism first came to the public centre when the BBC revealed that it was exploring the possibility of acquiring the rights.^[2] Yet, ITV was too interested^[two] as it was concerned that The X Cistron could lose ratings afterward Simon Cowell, Cheryl and Dannii Minogue left the console.

We adapted that for United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland with Alan Sugar and made the British version the best in the globe. We hope The Voice will do similarly. We shouldn't shut the door on anything."^[iv]

We've got three dancing shows on BBC One this twelvemonth on Saturday nights, and I wanted to decrease that but nonetheless find ways that we could have live, ofttimes performance-based television. We are in an era where the audition love that [and] we shouldn't ignore what the audience want."

Anybody benefits because of that."^[27] However, presenter Reggie Yates denied this: "I don't know if this is about toppling anyone. This is a very different animal altogether. I retrieve when you see what this testify is all almost, you'll see exactly where we are coming from."^[28]

In 2013, the shows clashed again, this time with BGT starting in its usual mid-April Slot. Both shows went straight head to head with The Voice from 6.45-viii.xv and BGT from 7-8.35. With BGT winning the state of war, The Voice moved to a later slot and for the balance of the run, simply clashed with BGT for ten-xv minutes each calendar week.

The Vocalism aired from vii-9 with BGT from 7-viii.25. Whilst original schedules had The Vocalism from 6-8 and BGT from 8-9.20, the shows both changed to a 7.00 start time.

[edit]

According to Digital Spy, the BBC was trying to "boost audience participation with a wealth of social media and online activeness, equally viewers often lookout man programmes while also commenting and engaging via Twitter and Facebook on a smartphone, laptop or tablet". Telegraph Hill, having previously worked on BBC Three dramas Being Homo and The Fades, put in place a full-time team of "social media creatives" who volition generate online videos around the show, and on the show'due south Facebook and Twitter pages.

Auditions and filming [edit]

The producer auditions of series one began on 31 October 2011.^[29] Five events took place in London, two events in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff, and one consequence in Belfast.^[29] Solo artists and duos can participate, withal, they must exist aged xvi or over.^[29] The coaches did not attend the producer's auditions.^[29] The blind auditions for the commencement serial were held at BBC Television Centre and has since been held at dock10 studios in Salford Quays.^{[ commendation needed ]} O'Donoghue told Digital Spy of the talent at the auditions, "The talent on show after the first auditions on the first day beat out out any talent in whatever finals I've ever seen on television. The hair on the dorsum of my neck and arms was standing upwards. 16 and 17-year-olds were upwardly in that location killing it".^[33]

Format [edit]

The Voice is a reality television series that features four coaches looking for a talented new artist, who could get a global superstar. The show's concept is indicated by its title: the coaches do not gauge the artists by their looks, personalities, stage presence or dance routines—only their vocal ability. It is this aspect that differentiates The Voice from other reality television receiver serial such as The X Factor, Uk'due south Got Talent or fifty-fifty Popular Idol. The competitors are split into four teams, which are mentored by the coaches who in plough choose songs for their artists to perform. There is no specific age range and anyone tin audience; if a motorcoach likes what they hear, a button-press allows their chair to spin around and face up the performer, signifying that they would similar to mentor them. If more than one does then, then the artist selects a coach. However, if no coach turns around so the creative person is sent abode.^[34] The Voice has been referred to as a "large, exciting and warm-hearted series"and a "new generation in its genre".^[3] The discomfort acquired past the poor blueprint of the chair, which weighs 19-stone, has fatigued criticism from will.i.am, who claims that it makes him hunch his shoulders.^[35]

There are five different stages: producers' auditions, Blind auditions, Boxing phase, Knockout stage and alive shows.

Producers' auditions and bullheaded auditions [edit]

The Phonation UK 's first stage is the producers' auditions, which are non shown on television receiver.^[29] The first shown stage is the blind auditions, where they sing in front of the coaches. The coaches have their backs to the vocalizer, and if they like what they hear, they can press their button to turn around and recruit them to their team. If more than than i passenger vehicle turns, the ability shifts to the vocalist, who and so decides which team they would like to exist role of. Each passenger vehicle must recruit a number of singers (10 in series ane, 12 since series two onwards) to their team in the bullheaded auditions to progress on to the boxing phase.^[7]

Since 2017, artists that are not selected by any of the coaches leave the stage afterwards their song and exercise not talk with the coaches. Equally, the chairs do not turn and hence the coaches do not see any of the artists that are not picked.^[36] Starting besides in season 10, "Block" buttons were added, which preventing one passenger vehicle to recruit artist on its team. Each double-decker given only one block in the entire auditions.

Battle phase [edit]

The second phase, 'Boxing phase', is where two artists are mentored and then developed past their respective charabanc.^[34] The coaches of the team will "dedicate themselves to developing their artists, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success in the music manufacture".^[7] Members of teams perform duets and the coach chooses who advances to the next stage.^[7]

In Series 2 (2013), the BBC introduced a new 'steal' twist to the Battle phase. The 'steal' gives a hazard to the losers of the caput-to-head battles to give i terminal pitch to the coaches, excluding their ain double-decker, on why they should remain in the process. The coaches and then have an amount of fourth dimension to push their button on their spinning chairs if they desire the contestant on their team. As with the blind auditions, if more than one coach presses their button, the contestant chooses which jitney to bring together.^[37] In Series 4 (2015), a second steal was added, thus increasing the progressing team to eight members.^[38] In Series vi (2017), each charabanc only had i steal each. For series xi (2022), the battle round has been axed.

Knockout stage [edit]

The 3rd phase of the competition is the 'Knockout phase'. Information technology was showtime introduced in the second series (2013). The iv coaches will enter this stage with seven team members each; six winners of the battle phase, and i stolen member. Artists perform a 'killer song' of their choosing and the coaches each pick three members of their team to go through to the live shows, creating a final 12 for the public vote.^[37] For series 7 in 2018, this was inverse. Only 6 members in each team participated in the knockouts, and merely two from each team advanced. Also, serial 8 had a new twist, ane eliminated contestant could be bought dorsum to compete in the alive shows, through the 'lifeline vote'.^[39] This meant that nine acts would take part in the live shows. From serial x (2021), the knockout circular has been axed.

Callbacks [edit]

Live shows [edit]

In the 'Live shows' artists perform in front of the coaches and audience, broadcast live.^[7]

In the showtime series (2012), each passenger vehicle had five artists in their team to brainstorm with and the artists went head-to-head to win public votes.^[34] The votes determined which artists advanced to the final eight.^[34]

The final 8 artists competed in a live broadcast.^[34] However, the coaches had a 50/50 say with the audition and the public in deciding which artists moved on to the 'final iv' phase.^[34] In the outset three serial, each double-decker had one member who continued. However, from the fourth series in 2015, the semi-last format changes; just public votes decide which artists move on to the concluding, regardless of their team. Therefore, a coach may have two of his/her artists in the final. The concluding (the winner round) was decided upon past the public vote.^[34] Throughout the final the coaches oftentimes performed with their artists.^[34] The winner was crowned The Voice.^[7]

From the second series (2013), afterward the introduction of the 'steal' in the boxing phase and the new 'knockout stage', each coach will have three artists on their team a full of 12 artists in the live shows to fight for the public vote and to be crowned 'The Phonation', subsequently receiving a record deal with Universal Music.^[37]

From the tenth series (2021) This has changed 3 contestants from each team perform fortnightly and only ii of them from each team volition be facing the public vote and one of their coaches will reveal the contestant with the about public votes to get to the live final.
