ITV Studios and The Virtual Brand Group (VBG) are set to launch “The Voice Studios” on May 12, an immersive virtual experience based on “The Voice” which allows fans to go on a musical journey to find their voice, like the contestants on the show.

“The Voice Studios,” which is free for everyone worldwide, offers fans an opportunity to create their own music, show off their dancing skills, compete in Battle rounds, test their musical knowledge and audition to be on an upcoming season of the hit series.

And in a specially created NBC metaverse fan zone, fans of the show will be able to audition and win limited-edition virtual clothing like celebrity coaches, Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, Niall Horan and Blake Shelton gift to their teams on the primetime show. The initiative is timed to debut with the final weeks of NBC’s 23rd season of “The Voice.”

“The Voice Studios” is the newest virtual experience in Vegas City, the premier metaverse entertainment destination in Decentraland and follows a successful “The Voice” virtual pop-up event last year in the Decentraland Metaverse Music Festival.

“After the very successful first pop-up area within the Decentraland Metaverse Music Festival, we are very excited to continue on this journey together with VBG bringing ‘The Voice Studios’ to Decentraland,” says Lucie Stoffers, head, brand licensing, global partnerships, ITV Studios. “Very few people get to be in a studio where ‘The Voice’ is being recorded, let alone receive a tailored gift from their favorite coach. It will now be possible for all fans to get access and have fun in this new immersive experience.”

“‘The Voice Studios’ is the future of entertainment, fashion and youth culture marketing,” says Justin W. Hochberg, chief executive officer, Virtual Brand Group. “Last fall, in ‘The Voice’s’ first metaverse experience, fans spent an average of 49 minutes, and we were able to generate 13 times more engagement than typical social media platforms. Building the next generation that is bigger and better for the show, advertisers and fans was the obvious logical step.”

“The Voice Studios” is set to launch with five music-themed experiences, including Music Maker, where users can publish a track and compete to win prizes or just make music for fun. Other games include an immersive Musical Treasure Hunt, Dance Off, Rhythm Challenge and Music Trivia.

Fans can play games and navigate “The Voice Studios” independently or participate in head-to-head Battles with others vying to be the top Gamer, Dancer and Creator. The fans themselves will get to vote on who ultimately gets crowned the winner in each category. And the more content and gameplay fans participate in, the more features they can unlock and more chances to win Voice-themed MetaMerch.
