Stage 1: The Blind Auditions

The four coaches' chairs will have their backs to the participants, allowing them to judge a contestant based only on their voice. If the coach likes the participant's voice, he/she will press the "QUIERO TU VOZ" button, turning the chair around. When the judge is facing the participant this indicated that they have been selected to advance. If more than one coach presses the button, the participant will have the option to decide who they want to work with in the competition. Each coach is granted the power of ''The Block Button'' where they can block another coach from obtaining the artist (in

At the end each coach will make the decision on who should move onto the next stage, the other will be eliminated. However, other coaches have the ability to steal an eliminated contestant by pressing the "QUIERO TU VOZ" button. If more than one coach presses the button, the participant will choose their new coach. During this point coaches also have the ability to bring in outside advisers to help them coach their contestants.

Stage 3: Live Shows

The public votes after every night performance and the artists with the highest votes advance. The remaining participants can be saved by their coach’s vote and advanced to the following week.
