Y Llais for The Voice is a Welsh singing reality competition television series. Created by John de Mol and Roel van Velzen, it premiered on S4C on 9 February 2025. Based on the original Dutch singing competition The Voice of Holland, and part of The Voice franchise, it is currently airing its first series and aims to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo, duets or trios, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, drawn from public auditions. The show is presented by Sian Eleri.
S4C confirmed that a Welsh language version of The Voice is in production. Y Llais will be produced by Boom Cymru, part of ITV Studios, and will air in 2025.[1]
The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the series. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. Coaches of Y Llais are world renowned opera singer Sir Bryn Terfel, reggae star Aleighcia Scott, musician and owner of Côsh record label Yws Gwynedd, and singer and songwriter Bronwen Lewis, who also previously competed on The Voice.[2]
