So the judges for The Voice SA have been
revealed and the details for the open audition rounds have been confirmed.
The auditions are happening in Cape Town, Durban and Joziburg in October and will be judged by a panel of professional vocal teachers and not the show's coaches. As we mentioned
here, the first auditions are a selection phase that won't be shown on TV.
Those who are successful at these first auditions will be invited to audition for the coaches at the blind auditions, where the coaches will make up their teams. Not everyone will be chosen for a team but everyone who makes it to the blind auditions will be heard and seen.
Who can audition?
All South African citizens older than 18.
