(115,829 posts)using a forced chest voice and that awful "vocal fry." Singing opera or other classical music with proper training will do nothing but improve her voice - which is amazing for someone so young.

(6 posts)she would do really well on the voice kids singing competition with that voice, but i agree with a lot of the other posters that she is probably too young to be singing like that and it could be bad for her voice in later years.
unless there is a way of careful training as not to be over stressing the vocal chords etc, not too sure about these talent competitions sometimes though, i think the age limit should start at 16 years old really.
yep that would mean though that the voice kids would not be running anymore if that happened, but sometimes it looks like it is too much to make tv stars out of kids.
watched the voice kids australia this year and some of the kids seem a bit too young, so would be better suited to wait until at least 16 and sing in the proper voice singing competition instead.

looking at that though they might not be running it next year just the over's competition that is judged by kylie minogue, most countries like the uk and usa do not have a unders competition or voice kids either, just the over competition.
so there is not many of the voice kids competitions around anyway, but she does look too young there in the video you posted, and it could be too much for her voice to be singing so high pitched like that.

(8 posts)yeah, to answer that, in the end the voice kids australia auditions 2015 and probably 2016 got cancelled, there was no series this year of the voice kids australia 2015, just the seniors show continued so far, so whether they plan to bring back the voice kids au in the future is unclear, because they never even mentioned it was cancelled, they just never put out anything for a new series or any audition information, so it was just a kind of silence, and you knew nothing was happening in regards to the voice kids australia after the 2014 season finished, through there silence.
there is a slim slim chance that there could be a the voice kids australia 2016 auditions, because there is still lots of time to do auditions rounds this year or early next year, but, i doubt it a lot that we will ever see a series of the voice kids au for a long while if ever, but there is also the chance, because the seniors voice australia has continued and is popular and they will be running there auditions rounds again soon, so will have to wait and see, but it was a surprise that the voice kids australia got cancelled and not renewed in 2015 after it had had such a popular series in 2014, before getting cancelled, for whatever reason, as they did not give a reason just silence.
though the voice usa auditions/singing competition in general looks to be around now for a long time, after lots of the x factor franchises got cancelled like the x factor usa, and other big singing competitions have been cancelled like the american idol, now with no competition expect the voice to be in its own league when it comes to singing/talent competitions, especially in the united states of america.

(13 posts)so there is going to be a new the voice kids uk auditions 2017 with the applications forms on itv.com this is a new show and moved over from the voice which was previously on the bbc.
itv have bought the rights for the voice show and also decided to do a uk voice kids as well http://thevoicekids2017auditions.blogspot.co.uk/, i will post the link below to the itv.com website where you can apply for the voice kids if you fit that age bracket or apply for the voice uk adults or seniors if that is your age bracket.
still the voice usa have not decided to do a voice kids show even after all these years that they have been doing the voice usa.
that registration or application forms are available now on the itv website so you can already apply to audition, but they do not yet give a date or locations or venues of when or where the auditions for the new voice uk will be taking place, but best not to hamper too much as the application process is only open for so much longer if you are wanting to apply then the time to apply is in 2016 with the auditions probably taking place sometime this year or sometime in early 2017.
