Format

The show consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and the live performance shows. Four judges also known as coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about one minute) to decide if he or she wants that performer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same performer (as happens frequently), the performer has the final choice of which coach's team to join. After the coaches fill each respective slots in their team the batch of singers in the team is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the knockout phase, coaches have all of their team members perform a song in the stage that look like a battle ring, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of individual "battles" into the semi-finals. Within the semi-final, the surviving eight acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with the coach determining one of two acts from their team that will advance to the final four. In the final phase, the remaining four acts perform for the last time head-to-head, with one senior crowned ''La Voz Senior''.
