Last night (3/21) a Paxton, IL native got her chance on the stage of The Voice in the Season 23 Blind Auditions.

Gina Miles is a very soft spoken 18-year-old. In fact, her speaking and singing voices are so different that it is shocking. During the “get to know the artist” video prior to the audition, Gina admitted that growing up she “never needed to be the loudest in the room.” She said, “I am pretty shy normally.”

When Kelly Clarkson heard her talk after she sang, baffled she stated , “Wait, you have that small speaking voice and this giant singing voice? What just happened?”

Both Kelly and Niall Horan turned around during the performance leaving Gina to make a choice. She chose Niall as her coach.

We will have to keep an eye on this central Illinois native in the competition on The Voice Season 23.
