Camila Cabellomay be a first-time coach onThe Voice— but she’s got a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
Speaking to PEOPLE duringThe Voicepress junket with her fellow season 22 coaches, the “Bam Bam” singer opened up about the pressures of being a first-time coach. However, as a former competition show contestant herself, she does have a few advantages.

She continues, “But I’m like, you know what? No because I have been doing this for 10 years now and I had extreme situations where it hasn’t been a slow journey either. So I’ve had to gather a lot of knowledge in a short burst of time. I do have something to offer and I try to just be as helpful as possible.”
When that feeling of imposter syndrome goes away, however, Cabello — who previously served as an advisor on the show — assures fans that she’s ready to take her contestants to the end.
“I don’t feel pressure anymore because I am absolutely killing it,” she says, which prompted fellow coachJohn Legendto jump in: “She’s really good. Honestly, she took to it almost immediately and she’s been so good on the show. Very competitive and she’s going to be a tough one to beat.”
Cabello — who was a contestant onThe X Factorin 2012, which eventually led to the formation of girl groupFifth Harmony— also says that with a 10-year career to back her up, she’s learned a thing or two that could really help her contestants.
“A lot of what I took from it that was really helpful is the psychological nerves tricks,” the singer explains. “If you look at it this way, if you reframe it this way, if you feel your body tightening up, if you loosen your jaw, that’s going to make the note not come out as… all these little tips and tricks that didn’t just come from the competition show but from my whole vibe, my whole 10-year vibe.”
“#Duet this if you’re going to be a Coach on #TheVoice this fall,” read the initial caption, as Cabello added alongside her own post: “See you this fall #TheVoice.”
Shelton and Legend will be returning from last season, while Stefani will returnfor the first time since 2020(and the first time since she and Shelton tied the knot in 2021).
The Voiceseason 22 will premiere on NBC on Sept. 19.
