One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.

The series is mainly shot at the Logomo cultural venue in Turku^[1] with few exceptions made in regards of blind auditions or battles.

The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about one minute) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.

Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving six acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of two acts from each team that will advance to the final eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.

In the final phase, the remaining contestants compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50 in deciding who moves on to the semi-final. In the semi-final, the results are based on a mix of the public vote, advance vote on the previous week's performances, and voting of coaches. Each carries an equal weight of 100 points for a total of 300 points.

With one team member remaining for each coach, the final 4 contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided by the advance and the public vote, both with equal weight of 100 points for a total of 200 points.

The Voice Kids was a Finnish reality singing competition for contestants aged 8 to 14, based on the Dutch show of the same name. Serving as the children's version of The Voice of Finland, the competition proceeded as well as in the adult counterpart, with the Blind audition, the Battles and live performances, the semi-finals and finally the finals.

The coaches included The Voice of Finland's coach Elastinen, PMMP's singer Mira Luoti and The Voice season 1 semi-finalist Krista Siegfrids. In season 2 Arttu Wiskari and Idols winner Diandra replaced Elastinen and Luoti.

The first season was won by 14-year-old Molly Rosenström. The second season was won by 13-year-old Aino Morko.
