Y Llais (Welsh for 'The Voice') is a Welsh-language singing reality competition television series. Created by John de Mol and Roel van Velzen, it premiered on S4C on 9 February 2025.[1][2] Based on the original Dutch singing competition The Voice of Holland and part of The Voice franchise, the series aims to discover unsigned singing talent—including solo artists, duets, and trios, both professional and amateur—through public auditions. The show is presented by BBC Radio 1 presenter Sian Eleri.[3][4]

In 2024, WalesOnline confirmed that the first series of the Welsh-language edition of The Voice was in production.[3] Y Llais is produced by Boom Cymru, a subsidiary of ITV Studios. The first season aired in 2025.[1]

The series features a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and mentor their teams throughout the competition. The coaches also compete to ensure that one of their acts wins, ultimately making them the winning coach. The coaching panel for Y Llais includes world-renowned opera singer Sir Bryn Terfel,[1] reggae artist Aleighcia Scott, musician and Côsh record label owner Ywain Gwynedd, and singer-songwriter Bronwen Lewis, who previously competed on The Voice UK.[5]
