The Voice 2023 : how does the public vote during the filming of the cross battles?

During this first episode of the cross battles, 212 people were present in the stands of The Voice. Out of the total audience, the production of the show distributed 209 boxes so that viewers could vote. “It must necessarily be an odd number to prevent the two talents from being tied at the end of their duel”, reveals the production. Other requirement imposed on the public: the talent family and their relatives do not have the right to vote. Thus, the production had to remove a few boxes, dropping its number to 201.

The audience of The Voice is he paid to attend cross battles?

“We also ensure that the panel is homogeneous between women, men and the age of the participants to be as representative as possible of the French”, explains Pascal Guix, the artistic producer of the program. Then, the spectators are drawn by lot and the people selected are given the precious box. But is the public paid to vote during the filming of the cross battles? “People who vote are not paid. The public present during the recordings registered free of charge. It is the Cassandra agency, with which we collaborate, which manages it”ensures the production of The Voice.
