Please record in a clean & clear location (e.g., no dirty dishes, laundry, or unmade beds behind you). Your roommate or family member should NOT be on the couch eating chips or watching TV while you are recording your audition. Make sure you are well-lit, especially on your face (lamps or natural light work best).

There is no cost to participate in The Voice. Contestants are not required to pay any fees to audition or compete on the show. The production covers expenses related to auditions, coaching, rehearsals, and performances, as well as travel and accommodation for contestants during the competition.

If you're selected as a contestant, be ready to travel to one or more locations and stay there for several weeks or months during the filming of the show. If you're selected as a finalist or a competitor, the producer of the show will pay for your travel and lodging expenses.

While singers don't make a paycheck from performing on The Voice, they are given a huge platform, free publicity and celebrity access to grow their music careers. But they are given stipends. Contestants who make it far into the season are given stipends to cover living expenses.

In order to audition for The Voice, you must be at least 13 years old by May 31, 2024. You can audition for the show multiple times.

According to New York Daily News, contestants are paid a small stipend to cover expenses during the filming of the show, but they give up some basic legal protections in agreeing to take their shot at riches and fame.

Picking the right colour is the most important way to make sure that you stand out at an audition. Avoid wearing all black, white or red as they can bleed on camera or cause your face to look too bright or too dark. Neutral colours will blend in with the crowd. Instead choose bright, solid colours.

During the blind auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the artists perform, but they don't get to see them -- thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, he/she pushes a button to select the artist for his/her team.

Contestants have to supply their own clothes for the blind auditions, but things get a little easier once they are attached to a team. Morrissey shared, “We shop for each artist to come up with great looks. Once we get to the live shows, looks are customized for each specific performance.”
