The Voice kicks off with the Blind Auditions, where the aspiring artists take to the stage hoping to turn the coaches’ iconic red chairs.

With only 10 spots available on each coach’s team this season, the stakes have never been higher.

Melanie ‘Sporty Spice’ Chisholm

Chisolm has been a pop culture phenomenon for over 30 years.

With the Spice Girls’ 1996 debut single Wanna Be topping charts in 37 countries and their album, Spice, becoming the best-selling by a female group, the band went on to sell over 85 million records worldwide.

But what makes an artist successful today?

“You have to truly love and be passionate about being a singer and performer,” Chisolm told Seven.

“There are incredible moments, but also some really tough times. It is a dream job, but you have to be prepared to take criticism and knocks.”

Chisolm revealed reaction of the audience that makes her chair spin.

“Often, when an artist walks onto the stage, we can hear the footsteps — we obviously cannot see anything — but there’s sometimes a shift in the energy of the room,” Chilsom revealed.

“And when you see how much a performer is affecting the audience, you really want to turn around to see what’s happening.”

Richard Marx

Marx is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter with a career spanning four decades.

Known for classics like Right Here Waiting and Hazard, both number one in Australia, Marx has also written and produced for Luther Vandross, Keith Urban and NSYNC.

Now, the seasoned performer wants to help aspiring Aussie singers pursue their dreams.

“Number one for me is believability. It’s not just having a big voice or hitting the notes — I need to believe what you’re singing to me,” Marx said, speaking about what grabs his attention.

“I’m open to all kinds of styles and sounds as long as it feels authentic.

“I’m never in a hurry to turn my chair. I tend to wait longer, so I can hear all that artist has to offer. It only helps my decision.”

Ronan Keating

Keating’s career began in 1993 with Boyzone and has flourished for over 30 years.

The worldwide star is no stranger to the big red chair, having first appeared as a coach on The Voice in 2016, alongside singers Delta Goodrem, Jessie J and Joel and Benji Madden.

Nine years later, Keating is back in the coaching seat and warns song choice during the Blind Audition is critical.

“It’s incredibly important. You’ve only got 90 seconds to put your best foot forward, so finding the right song that works for your voice is key,” Keating revealed.

The former lead Boyzone lead singer adds new artists should play to their strengths.

“I look for something unique that defines them and sets them apart,” Keating said.

“If you’re listening to the radio, you instantly know Freddie Mercury, Sting, Bono, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston — you know their voices.”

Kate Miller-Heidke

Kate Miller-Heidke is an award-winning singer-songwriter who blends pop, folk, musical theatre and opera.

She is the only returning coaching from last year’s panel and the only Australian coach, which she plans to use to her advantage!

“It’s really an honour and definitely something I’ll be using in my pitches,” Miller-Heidke said.

“These three incredible coaches have had the most insane superstar careers, so I have to use everything I’ve got.”

Miller-Heidke revealed she wants the artists to embrace what makes them different and not imitate anyone else.

“I want to be surprised. Every voice is different — it’s like a fingerprint,” the Eurovision star said.

“I’m not interested in karaoke, I’m interested in someone with something to say.”

Hosted by Gold Logie Award-recipient Sonia Kruger, The Voice won the Best Entertainment Program category at this year’s 65th awards celebrations.

The Voice premieres at 7pm on August 10 on Seven and 7plus.
