Gameplay edit

Format edit

Presented with a group of "mystery singers"[a] identified only by their occupation, a guest artist 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.

The Thai counterpart has two different game formats:

  • Original format
Under the original format, the guest artist(s) can eliminate mystery singers after each round, and ended with the last remaining mystery singer depending on the outcome of a duet performance by themselves.
  • Battle format (seasons 3–4)
Under the battle format (adapted from Giọng ải giọng ai), both opponents can eliminate one singer each in a single round, and then both can choose one singer each to join the final performance in the final round. At the end of the game, the conditions for winning mystery singers chosen by opposing guest artists, depending on the outcome of each final performance, if:
  1. One opposing guest artist has chosen a "good singer" and the other one has a "bad singer", or
  2. Both two opposing guest artists have chosen a "good singer" or a "bad singer".

Rounds edit

Visual rounds edit

  • The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.[b][c][d][e][f]
  • The host is given three "keywords" depending on the mystery singer's identity. Afterward, five different voice snippets from the muted video are being played.[g]

Introduction round edit

  • Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie.[b][c][d][e][g]

Lip sync rounds edit

  • Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers mime to a recording of their own performance, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.[b][c][d][e][f]
  • All of mystery singers perform their lip sync on separate phases, with the good singers' recordings first, and then the bad singers last.[g]

Evidence round edit

  • The guest artist must assign three "mystery songs" to one of the mystery singers of their chosen. Afterward, they must react toward that song.[g]

Interrogation round edit

  • The guest artist (and then panelists) may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.[b][c][f]

Talent round edit

  • The guest artist must describe one of the mystery singer's other talents, except "singing" itself. This may not be related to the "stage of truth", but depends on their identity.[b][c][d][e][g][f]

After a one-year and three-month hiatus, the show made its return with a sixth season (subtitled I Can See Your Voice T-pop),[4][5] premiering on 5 July 2023.[16][17]

In the fourth season, Bigo Live conducted a competitive event I Can See My Voice,[12] in which a mystery singer having the most popular votes, would allow to perform a duet alongside one of the guest artists.[6]
