The Voice is not only a successful singing competition but has become the favorite reality show for many young and adult Americans over time. However, after so much time on the air, many have been wondering about certain issues, such as whether contestants use autotune.

Singing in front of the coaches, who are always prominent figures in the industry (check here the history of the judges) like John Legend and Blake Shelton, requires great concentration, and not everyone performs flawlessly in the auditions, so their voices may be modified.

This doesn’t happen always but in cases deemed appropriate by the show’s production team. This doesn’t take away from the fact that participants must genuinely possess talent, as there is only one instance where their voices might be corrected.

Are The Voice performances auto-tuned?

Contestants’ auditions on The Voice can involve the use of autotune, so the answer is yes, their voices are sometimes modified, but only in the initial stage. According to Screen Rant, the song that the viewer hears is a modified version and not the authentic one.

This occurs only in the blind auditions, so many times, the performances by the participants are altered, and the actual version heard by the coaches is not revealed. However, the majority of the artists who go through the show are overflowing with talent.

A conscious effort is made to maintain the vocal authenticity of the contestants. The program’s production focuses on highlighting the vocal abilities of the participants without the excessive use of effects like autotune.
