‘The Voice’ Creatives on How They Pull Off the Final Live Shows

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Putting together NBC’s “The Voice” is no easy task. Behind the scenes of the live show, now in its 13th year, its trusty team is a well-oiled machine that ensures that the highest level of production is delivered to the audience tuning in each week.

Amid the rotation of judges and contestants, the department heads — from makeup and sound to editing and more — have remained constant, helping drive the show’s success by bringing their A-crew and A-game to the table.

The live performance factor brings a great deal of uncertainty, says exec producer Audrey Morrissey, and that’s not something the audiences are typically privy to.

The only element Morrissey and her team of producers know is what songs will be sung — not who is singing which song nor who will be moving on each week. “We start to think about the creative moving forward, and often that night, we’re already rehearsing with a team, with a coach, rehearsing their song on the stage, getting that out of the way,” she says.
