The first series of the British television mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice premiered on BBC One on 10 April 2021. [1]

Contents

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this programme is filmed under health and safety protocols being implemented for this season.

Gameplay

Format

Under the original format, the contestants can eliminate one or two mystery singers after each round. The game concludes with the last mystery singer standing which depends on the outcome of a duet performance with a guest artist. [2]

If the singer is good, the contestants win £10,000; if the singer is bad, the same amount is given to the bad singer instead.

Rounds

Each episode presents the guest artist and contestants with six people whose identities and singing voices are kept concealed until they are eliminated to perform on the "stage of truth" or remain in the end to perform the final duet.

  1. First Impressions
    The guest artist and contestants are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
  2. Lip Sync
    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.
  3. Unlock my Life
    The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package chronicling the daily lives by one of the mystery singers.
  4. Interrogation
    The guest artist and contestants must choose one mystery singer to question with. The host is given a list of 15 questions shown on the screen and the artist can ask any of 15 questions within the 30 second time limit.
