In the Voice, the singing auditions are 'blind': the jury is turned with their back to the competitors. Once 'selected' (by pushing a button), the juror turns towards the competitor. After these blind auditions, the coaches will train their competitors through knock-out battles and public voting rounds until there is one competitor left, who will be named as 'The Voice'.

As confirmed on reliable sources, Toni Gonzaga and Robi Domingo will host the brand new show of ABS-CBN. Hint given by the former last January 16, 2013 on UKG that she will be doing a reality show at the 2nd quarter of the year. Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo Manalac, Leah Salonga and Apl.deAp will judge-coach for the show.
