What it's like to...Star on Tv's The Voice, with Wolverhampton's Megan Reece
With its signature spinning chairs and blind auditions, The Voice is the television talent show which prides itself on choosing singers based on the quality of their voice.
But how does it feel when you're the one singing your heart out to the backs of four judges waiting to see who, if anyone, will turn around?
For Megan Reece, a mother-of-four from Wolverhampton, it was a make or break moment.
"Walking out on stage was scary but I knew I had to get out there and have some faith in myself. If there was ever a time to believe in myself this was it," she says.
Confident Megan, who is also an accomplished artist, had been selected to audition for last year's series after being found by a talent scout during a studio singing session.
"I went for an audition and then it seemed to take a long time before the blind audition. On the day, I had to treat it like any other performance.
"I had nothing to lose from going out there and doing my best. It was about believing I could do it," she recalls.
As the 29-year-old began performing her version of Lianne La Havas' doo-wop hit What You Don't Do, the judges were clearly impressed.
But it was Paloma Faith and Boy George who hit their buzzers to spin their chairs around to see the singer – who was wearing a red and white polka dot dress – command the stage.
