The Voice (Tengaged)

The Voice is an online reality television singing competition broadcast on Tengaged. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, the concept of the series is to find new singing talent (solo or groups) drawn from public auditions. The winner is determined by Tengaged users by voting in a series of polls.

The Voice will begin airing on December 20, 2014. The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances. Each coach guides their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The panel for the debut season consists of Lauren Jade, Austin, Sam and Bernel.

Selection process and format
Each season begins with the "Blind Auditions", where coaches form their teams of 8 artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. The coaches' chairs are faced towards the audience during artists' performances; those interested in an artist press their button, which turns their chair towards the artist and illuminates the bottom of the chair to read "I want you." At the conclusion of the performance, an artist either defaults to the only coach who turned around, or selects his or her coach if more than one coach expresses interest.

In the "Battle Rounds", each coach pairs two of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance in the competition. In each season, coaches are assisted by guest advisors that are different each season.

In the final live performance phase of the competition, artists perform in weekly shows, where public voting narrows to a final group of artists and eventually declares a winner. Each coach is represented by one of their own acts in the finale.

Coaches and hosts
Lauren Jade and Sam became the first to be announced as coaches for the new series, they were later joined by the announcement of Austin as a brand new coach. Day's before filming begun, Bernel was announced as the final coach after days of speculation.

A host for the season is yet to be announced and will not be announced until the commencement of the live shows as this is the only segment of the show in need of a host.
