Who Hosts The Voice?

Carson Daly returns as host of The Voice for Season 30. Daly has hosted the competition since its first season premiered on NBC in 2011.

How to Watch The Voice

New episodes of The Voice air on NBC.

Episodes are also available to stream on Peacock the following day. Peacock currently offers previous episodes of the series along with the latest season.

How Does The Voice Work?

The Voice begins with the Blind Auditions, where the coaches listen to artists without seeing them perform. A coach who wants an artist on their team presses a button to turn their chair.

If more than one coach turns for an artist, the singer gets to decide which coach’s team to join.

The competition then progresses through additional rounds as the coaches work with their teams and artists compete for a spot later in the competition. The format traditionally includes the Blind Auditions, Battles, Knockouts, and live performance rounds.

Who Won The Voice Last Season?

Alexia Jayy won Season 29 of The Voice as a member of Team Adam Levine. Her win gave Levine another coaching victory before his return for Season 30.

Can You Audition for The Voice?

Yes. The Voice accepts auditions through its official casting website.

Casting currently allows singers to create a free Artist Account and audition through video submissions or Virtual Open Calls. The casting site says there is no fee to audition. Eligibility requirements, audition dates, and submission options can change from season to season.

Applicants should use the official The Voice casting website for the latest audition dates and eligibility requirements.

How Do You Vote on The Voice?

Voting becomes available during eligible live portions of the competition. NBC directs viewers to The Voice official app for voting and other ways to interact with the show.

Voting windows and rules can vary by season, so viewers should check NBC and The Voice official channels when live voting begins.

When Did The Voice First Premiere?

The Voice debuted on NBC in 2011. The original coaching lineup featured Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, and CeeLo Green.

Season 30 marks another milestone for the long-running competition, with Levine once again in a coaching chair alongside Clarkson and first-time coaches Queen Latifah and Riley Green.
