I Can See Your Voice franchise

Cantor ou Impostor? (English: Singer or impostor?) is a Portuguese television mystery music game show based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice . It premiered on SIC on 17 July 2022. ^[1]

Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers" that identified only by their occupation, a guest artist and a celebrity contestant must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the selection without ever hearing them perform live, over the course of five rounds. They are also assisted with clues regarding singers' backgrounds, style of performance, and observations from a celebrity panel. At the end of a 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. ^{[2] [3]}

The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving €1,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of a game, if the contestant decides to walk away, they will keep the money had won in previous rounds; if they decide to risk for the last remaining mystery singer, they double their all winnings if a singer is good, or give it anyway to the winning bad singer selected by them.

Rounds

1. First impression (Portuguese: Primeiras impressões)
   The guest artist and contestant are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
2. Lip sync (Portuguese: Sincronia labial)
   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 backing track by another vocalist.
3. True or false? (Portuguese: Verdadeiro ou falso?)
   The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers of their choice.
4. Interrogation (Portuguese: Interrogatório)
   The guest artist and contestant may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
5. Concealed voice (Portuguese: Voz secreta)
   The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's recording, then a bad singer's recording comes in the middle of the performance.

Production

Following the successful broadcasts of A Máscara , Impresa formally acquired the rights to produce a local adaptation of I Can See Your Voice in Portugal, which was announced as part of SIC's 30th anniversary programming lineup in February 2022, with Warner Bros. International Television Production assigning on production duties. ^{[4] [5]}
