Tony Vincent to Compete on NBC's THE VOICE
By: Nicole Rosky Dec. 02, 2011
According to his official website, Broadway veteran Tony Vincent will appear on the second season of NBC's vocal competition- 'The Voice.' Vincent writes: 'I have auditioned for the hit television show The Voice, which airs on America's NBC network. It's been an amazing experience thus far and if you all want to see how I did at my audition, turn into the show's premiere episode-- airing right after the Superbowl on February 5th, 2012. The talent this season is top-notch. You don't want to miss this!'
In January 1999, Vincent made his Broadway debut in the cast of Rent, appearing in the roles of Roger and Mark, at the Nederlander Theatre. He then starred in the 2000 London cast of Jesus Christ Superstar as Simon Zealotes, and went on to play Judas in the Broadway transfer.
"The Voice" is a vocal competition series modeled after Holland's top-rated vocal talent discovery show, "The Voice of Holland." Hosted again in its second season by Carson Daly, the show features four musician coaches, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, who coach only the most talented vocalists.
The show's innovative format features three stages of competition: the first begins with the blind audition, then the competition enters into a battle phase, and finally, the live performance shows. The show's casting team is working with the music industry and searching the country for the best singers to bring to the blind audition process. During the blind auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the contestants perform, but they don't get to see them -- thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the contestant's voice, he/she pushes a button to select the contestant for his/her team.
