La Voz (season 1) is a Spanish reality talent show that premiered on 19 September 2012 on Telecinco. Based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, the series was created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. It is part of an international series.

The coaches for the debut season were David Bisbal, Rosario Flores, Malú and Melendi. Jesús Vázquez hosted the programme while Tania Llasera shared hosting duties as the social media correspondent. The first episode kicked-off with 4,591,000 viewers (30.6% market share).

The Blind Auditions were taped in the third week of August 2012 and were aired from 19 September to 17 October 2012 in five telecasts. 80 auditioners took part in the Blind Auditions. Each coach had to form a team of 14 contestants.

The first episode began with the four coaches singing "Viviendo deprisa".

The Battle Round was taped in early October 2012 and was aired from 24 October to 7 November 2012 in three telecasts. Coaches begin narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of "trusted advisors". This round features twenty-eight battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concluding with the respective coach eliminating one of the two contestants. After the battles, each coach is left with seven contestants; each coach saves five of these to advance to the live shows, whereas the two remaining singers do a sing-off for the remaining live show spot. Thus, six contestants for each coach advance to the live shows.

The trusted advisors for these episodes are: Luis Fonsi working with David Bisbal, Antonio Carmona working with Rosario Flores, Tiziano Ferro working with Malú and Nek working with Melendi.
