The tenth season of Bulgarian singing reality competition Glasat na Bulgaria premiered on 10 September 2023. This season features some changes in the coaching panel, as only Ivan Lechev and Dara return from the previous season. Former coach Miro, who participated in the first three seasons, and new coach Maria Ilieva join the panel. Meanwhile, Ivan Tishev remains as the host of the program.
Nadezhda Kovacheva was crowned as the "voice", marking Miro's second win as a coach.
Some changes in the coaching panel are seen in this season as only Ivan Lechev and Dara return from the previous season.[1] They are joined by Miro,[2] who returns after being part of the jury in the first three seasons of the program, and Maria Ilieva,[3][4] who was a battle advisor on the previous season.
Ivan Tishev remains as the presenter. This year there are online behind the scenes episodes, but without an online "V-Reporter".

Blind auditions
The show began with the blind auditions. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested to work with the artist, they will press their button to face the artist. If a singular coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join.
Continuing the rule from the previous season, coaches could have an unlimited number of contestants on their team and finalize them at the end of the auditions. This season, the blocking rule that is similar to the twelfth season of the French version was applied where coaches can block another coach only after the audition ended, and their chair will turn to the audience backwards.[5] Each coach is given two super-blocks to use.
