Teams

Blind auditions

The season began with the blind auditions on February 17, 2024. In each audition, each artist performs their piece in front of the panel of coaches, whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may opt to press the button to face the artist. An artist is defaulted to a coach when only one coach turns; if multiple coaches turn, the coaches compete for the artist, who will later choose their coach. Each coach has two "blocks" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. This season, each coach ends up with 21 artists by the end of the blind auditions, creating a total of 63 artists advancing to the battles, with Nievera leading MarTeam, Tandingan leading Team Supreme, and Mañalac leading Kamp Kawayan.
