As the popular singing competition show, *The Voice*, prepares to return for its new season, excitement buzzes through the air. This year marks the 30th season of the show, and its coaches — Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, Queen Latifah, and Riley Green — have created a buzz that is palpable. Daniela Avila from PEOPLE, who has reported on the series for four years, shares details from her recent experience interviewing the coaches during their filming.
Avila stepped onto the soundstage at Universal Studios on July 21, where the coaches were engaged in the intense Battles segment. This stage of the competition sees two contestants from the same team go head-to-head, with ultimately only one being chosen to advance. The atmosphere was electric as the audience awaited the performances, and Avila prepped for her dream interview.
The coaching ensemble brought their individual charisma to the set, each accompanied by a support team of publicists, makeup artists, and stylists. Clarkson and Latifah arrived first, graciously introducing themselves to Avila while receiving final touches on their makeup. The energy surged when Adam Levine, the frontman of Maroon 5, entered, drink in hand, followed closely by Riley Green, who was already familiar with Avila from a previous interview related to his appearance in *Yellowstone*.
Once seated, the coaches engaged in a lively exchange that highlighted both their camaraderie and competitive spirit. The playful banter between Levine and Green set a lively tone for the interview, while Latifah’s charm drew appreciation from her colleagues. Clarkson, known for her emotional depth, elicited thought-provoking responses that balanced out the lighter moments. “What a blessing,” Latifah remarked, emphasising the joy she finds in her work.
As the interview concluded, the energy in the room shifted to one of gratitude and goodwill. The coaches expressed their appreciation to Avila for her time before hurrying backstage, eager to prepare for the live filming session that would soon follow. The meticulous nature of production on *The Voice* was evident, as stage managers hurried to ensure everything was in place for the audience’s arrival.
A week later, on July 27, Avila returned to the soundstage to witness a photoshoot featuring the coaches, coinciding with the recording of their anticipated performance for the season premiere. While she observed from a distance, the resonance of their powerful voices filled the air as they rehearsed, working tirelessly to attain the perfect take.
The efficiency of the *The Voice* production crew was evident as the coaches moved seamlessly from filming their performance to posing for the cover shoot. Each coach was given specific positioning for the photos, and their quick wit shone through as Latifah opted to add her own flair with dance moves while Levine playfully embraced Green. The sense of camaraderie among the group was infectious, showcasing their genuine rapport.
During the final moments of the shoot, the photographer invited Avila into the frame with the coaches, and Clarkson insisted she take centre stage for the picture. Within a concise timeframe, the snapshot was complete, and the coaches were back on their way, continuing their bustling schedule.
*The Voice* is set to make its return on September 21, and with its blend of talent and dynamic coach interactions, fans have much to look forward to. The series continues to capture the essence of musical competition, while fostering an environment that celebrates artistry and personality among its coaches.
As the new season approaches, *The Voice* promises not just to be a showcase of incredible vocal talents, but also a platform for some of the music industry’s most beloved figures to shine, both individually and as a united team.
