The open call auditions were held in the following locations:[4]
The show began with the Blind Auditions on September 9, 2022. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested to work with the artist, they will press their button to face the artist. If a singular coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has one "block" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. This season, the coaches complete their teams without a specific number of members. However, each one will be cut down to 14 contestants, on the last episode of the blinds.
