Based on the original The Voice of Holland, it has aired eight seasons and aims to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, age 17 or over, drawn from public auditions.

The winner is determined by television viewers voting by telephone, SMS text, and The Voice App.

The winners of the twelve seasons have been: Dina Garipova, Sergey Volchkov, Alexandra Vorobyova, Hieromonk Fotiy, Darya Antonyuk, Selim Alakhyarov, Petr Zakharov, Asker Berbekov, Yana Gabbasova, Alexander Volkodav, Viktoria Solomakhina, and Bogdan Shuvalov.

Eleventh season features block button which will prevent a coach from being chosen by the contestant.

In the "Battle Rounds," each coach pairs two of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance in the competition.

In the first season, coaches sit alongside their respective advisors in the battle stage.

In the Knockout Rounds, a pair of artists within a team are selected to sing individual performances in succession.

Starting with season two each coach pairs three artists into one knockout with two contestants from the trio advance to the next round.

In season one the coaches have the power to save one artist that had not received the public's vote in the Quarterfinal.

With one team member remaining for each coach, the contestants compete against each other in the finale, where the outcome is decided solely by public vote.

Since season 7, alongside the determining of the winner, television viewers vote for the Best coach using The Voice App and HbbTV option in their TV sets.
