. The central focus of the show is the singing talent and quality of the contestants. Three or four coaches / jurors, themselves successful performing artists, train the talents in their teams, and occasionally perform with them. After many preliminary off-screen audition rounds, the most promising talents are selected for the TV shows. Crucially, this happens in so-called ''"blind auditions"'', during which the coaches cannot ''see'', but only ''hear'' the candidates perform. Not until the talent gets chosen by a coach, or when they have finished singing, do the coaches' chairs rotate towards them, and are they revealed to the coaches. The first TV-episodes are prerecorded in front of a live studio audience, so that the coaches can experience the audience's reaction to the candidate, and are sometimes influenced by it. Next episodes are recorded wherein some singers lose their spot on the team, and others are promoted to subsequent rounds, through singing challenges in various formats, until only a small group remain in the contest. At this point the show-format switches to several ''live shows'', in which the TV audience take an active part in the judging process, and more singers are voted out until one season winner remains.

Format

Blind auditions

After many audition rounds off screen it's time for the "Blind auditions". In the first televised stage the auditioners sing in front of the official coaches. All coaches will be sitting in a chair that is turned back from the stage. Supposedly the coaches will first judge by the power, clarity, type and uniqueness of the artists singing. If they like what they hear and want to mentor the artist for the next stage, they will push a button that will turn their chair around to face the stage for the first time and see the artist. If more than one chair turns around, the auditioner can pick their coach of choice. If no chair turns around, the auditioning artist's journey on the Voice ends. At the end, each of the coaches will have a certain number of artists in their team who will be advancing to the next round. A new twist was added on the twelfth season: the block button. Each coach has the power to block another coach from getting an artist. To ensure that the coaches will not block each other indefinitely, it is only allowed to use the block button once in the entire blind auditions.

The Battle rounds

The second stage, 'the Battle rounds', is where two artists are mentored and then developed by their respective coach. 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 industry". Every member of their team battle against another member from their team. They sing the same song simultaneously, while their coach decides who should continue in the competition. The coaches have to choose from the four individual "battles" to take artists to the live round. Starting from the fourth season, each coach can steal one losing artist from other teams. Another twist was added in the seventh season: the ''Steal Room''. While steals have returned, each artist that is stolen will sit in a designated seat in the Steal Room as they watch the other performances. If a coach has stolen one artist but later decides to steal another, the first artist will be replaced and eliminated by the newly-stolen artist. The artists seated at the end of the battles will advance to the knockout rounds. In the eleventh season, each coach is now allowed to save an artist from their own team.

The Knockouts

The third stage is the Knockouts. The format has varied from the early seasons where two artists each sang one song with one advancing to more recent years where all artists performed and the coach would select three to send to the Live Shows.

Live shows

The final stage, dubbed the 'Live shows', is where the surviving combatants perform in front of the coaches, audience and broadcast live. Each coach will be having four artists in their team to begin with and the artists will go head-to-head in the competition to win the public votes. These will determine which artist advances to the final eight. The remaining three artists' future in the show will be determined by the coaches, choosing who will progress. The final eight artists will compete in a live broadcast. However, the coaches will have a 50/50 say with the audience and the public in deciding which artists move on to the 'final four' phase. In the latter, each coach will have one member who will continue. The final (the winner round) will be decided upon by the public vote. Throughout the final the coaches will frequently perform with their artists. The winner will be crowned ''The Voice of Holland''.

Soon after RTL’s announcement, band leader of ''The Voice of Holland'', :NL:Jeroen Rietbergen, Jeroen Rietbergen (brother-in-law of creator and media tycoon John de Mol Jr., John de Mol) issued a statement admitting to years of sexual misbehaviour. According to Dutch newspaper ''Algemeen Dagblad'', he had promised contestants that he would make sure they’d advance to the next round in exchange for sexual activities. Producer Talpa Media, now ITV Studios, had known about his sexual misbehaviour years ago and reprimanded him, but allowed him to remain as bandleader of the show.

Head sponsor T-Mobile Netherlands, T-Mobile, as well as other sponsors, decided to stop supporting the show. Anouk, one of the many coaches and hosts to comment on the matter, stated that she had wanted to wait until she had seen the ''BOOS'' episode, but after reading Rietbergen's statement, as well as holding several telephone calls with other affected individuals, she had decided not to return as coach on the show. On 19 January 2022, right after the news that a second victim had filed an official report against Ali B, broadcaster RTL announced that they would suspend their collaboration with him during the investigations. The Dutch police also announced that another victim came forward and filed an official report against Jeroen Rietbergen. Tim Hofman and BNNVARA, BNN-VARA, his broadcaster, announced that more crew members would be mentioned in his YouTube program ''BOOS: This is The Voice''. The news had sparked a heated debate in the country about the abuse of power by people in the entertainment industry, especially as there had already been accusations against singer

, including an official report of sexual misconduct with a minor. Borsato was a coach on ''The Voice'' (2011–2016) and ''The Voice Kids'' (2012–2020).

The first part of the documentary revealed more allegations of sexual misconduct on ''The Voice'', including allegations of rape. The alleged sex offenders are bandleader Jeroen Rietbergen, former coach Marco Borsato, coach Ali B and a yet to remain anonymous director of ''The Voice of Holland'' and ''The Voice Kids''. The episode ended with Tim Hofman interviewing John de Mol (creator and producer of ''The Voice'') who had just finished watching the first and original part of the ''BOOS'' documentary. After the episode went online, reactions poured in. De Mol was broadly accused of victim-blaming, also by his company’s female employees. A page wide advertisement, published in the Dutch newspaper ''Algemeen Dagblad,'' stated the following: “Dear John, It’s not the women. Greetings, the women in your company.” ''The New York Times'' cited the controversy as an example of how the Dutch approach to sexual permissiveness can sideline discussions of consent and misconduct. Following the publication of the ''BOOS: This is The Voice'' documentary, several Dutch radio stations announced that they would no longer play music by Ali B and Borsato for the time being, and Madame Tussauds Amsterdam removed Borsato's wax figure from the collection.

In addition, the demand for confidential counselors within companies increased, and it prompted self-reflection in various organizations on how the social protection schemes for employees was assured within their company. Making confidential counselors within companies mandatory was something that the Dutch government had been looking into for some time. On 21 January 2022, human rights organization Amnesty International stated that the sexual misconduct scandal on ''The Voice of Holland'' showed that the process of legalizing Sexual consent in law, sexual consent laws must be sped up. Many of the cases described in the documentary concern sexual consent, involuntary sex and imbalanced power relations, which are not always punishable by current law.

On 29 January 2022, a protest was held in Amsterdam for the accelerated implementation of the sexual consent law.
