The BBC will shortly be launching a dynamic new singing competition. With the help of Hackney-based music college Point Blank, scouts for The Voice UK are on the hunt for the UK’s very best vocal talents.
Unlike other talent shows, The Voice UK focuses purely on the vocal skills of the contestants and Point Blank has been brought in to find those artists who would otherwise not get involved in such a competition.
The show has been a huge success around the world, and its focus on artistic credibility makes it a very different show from other onscreen talent formats. Coaches on the US version of the show included; Ceelo Green, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, and CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Blake Shelton.
Here's a taster from the US show to give you an idea of the format...
Auditions will be taking place across the UK and online throughout November, so get involved! If you're lucky enough to get through the auditions, you'll have the chance to battle it out against the other singers for the chance to be mentored, and developed by some of the world best singers and most experienced industry personalities.
In Hackney, Point Blank is leading the search for untapped talent, so if you'd like to learn more about the show, you can also email singers@pointblanklondon.com or call Rachel on 0207 729 4884.
