Being selected on The Voice is the dream of many emerging artists who aim to win the prize money, which includes a record deal. Well, it’s never too late to achieve it, especially considering the age limit that is in place.

One of the distinctive elements of the program is the “blind auditions” phase, which was established as the first in the competition. Here, the coaches select contestants based solely on their voice without seeing their appearance.

Throughout the seasons, there have been winners of various ages, proving that vocal talent is not limited by youth or age. It has also happened that those who didn’t win but participated have become mega stars.

How old do you have to be to audition for The Voice?

Although most contestants on The Voice are usually quite young, there is no age limit to audition. However, you must be at least 13 years old to participate in the reality singing show, per the regulations established.

In the event that artists are selected to be part of one of the coaches’ teams, those who are minors must be accompanied by a parent, as they need to sign a contract to be part of the show.
