The second season of The Voice of America premiered on February 3, 2016, beginning with the first round of auditions in each of the 5 regions.
Judges and hosts
Ryan Tedder, Madonna, and Justin Timberlake were inaugurated as judges for the show. Ryan Seacrest is the host.
Audition process
The cities of New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, and Denver are where the auditions will take place. They are called Regionals. People within their specified regional will head to one of these 5 cities and sing through three rounds.
The first round begins with Room Auditions. For these, you will sing along with nine other strangers in order to impress two producers who will send through to the second round the singers with the best talent. This will continue until each region has 50 artists filled.
The second round entails the 50 that advanced singing one song in front of a panel of three celebrity judges, and then they will vote for whether or not you deserve to move on to Round 3 of the Regional Auditions. Singers with at least two votes from the celebrity judges will get the opportunity to advance on to Round 3. There is no cap to the amount of people that can get voted through to the Third Round.
The third and final round has singers going up in front of an audience of 10,000 people. The celebrity judges are also there, and will be making the final decision.
After the third round, the three judges will discuss in private who should be in the Top 12 of the Region.
