I Can See Your Voice is a Dutch television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean programme of the same name. It aired on RTL 4 from 29 October 2020[1] [2] to 7 December 2023, for five seasons.

Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, a guest artist and contestant(s) must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of four rounds. At the end of the game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.

From first to third season, if the singer is good, the contestant(s) wins ; if the singer is bad, the same amount is given to the bad singer instead.

From fourth to fifth season, the contestant(s) must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of the game, the contestant(s) may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it for a chance to win by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad.

Rounds

Visual round

The guest artist and contestant(s) are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.

Lip sync round

Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.

Evidence round

The guest artist and contestant(s) are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.

Rehearsal round

The guest artist and contestant(s) presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.

Interrogation round

The guest artist and contestant(s) may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
