Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of "mystery singers" [a] that identified only by their occupation, the guest artist and contestant(s) [a] must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the selection without ever hearing them perform live, over the course of several rounds. [a] 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.

From first to second season, if the last remaining mystery singer is good, the contestant wins €10,000; this is also applied to the winning bad singer selected by them.

For the third season, the contestants must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving €2,500 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of a game, if the contestants decide 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 win €25,000 if a singer is good, or lose their all winnings if a singer is bad.

Rounds

Visual rounds

  • First impression (German: Erster Eindruck)
s1–2: The guest artist and contestant(s) are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
  • Tune it up! (German: 3, 2, 1... Ton an!)
s3: A muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.

Lip sync rounds

s1–2: 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.
  • Full playback (German: Vollplayback)
s3: The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's recording, then a bad singer's recording comes in the middle of the performance.

Evidence round

  • Fact or fake? (German: Fakt oder Fake?)
s1–3: The guest artist and contestant(s) are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.

Rehearsal round

  • Secret studio (German: Soundcheck)
s2: The guest artist and contestant(s) are presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.

Interrogation round

  • Cross-examination (German: Kreuzverhör)
s1–3: 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.

Production

A local adaptation of I Can See Your Voice in Germany was first mentioned, as per press release by CJ ENM at the time of its ongoing (South Korean) sixth season in March 2019; [6] this was subsequently confirmed by RTL Deutschland in June 2020, [7] with Tresor Television assigning on production duties. [8] [9]

Broadcast history

I Can See Your Voice debuted with two-night pilot episodes on 18 and 19 August 2020, [1] [2] [3] as part of RTL's Power Week programming lineup, [10] [11] with filming took place at MMC Studios in Ehrenfeld, Cologne. [12] [13] Because of the viewers' complaints regardless of not implementing health and safety protocols amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, production was halted in an immediate response, prematurely ending the first season; Tresor Television spokesperson Jovan Evermann did even clarify that the federal health department guidelines have been followed properly. [14] [15]

Despite the incident of its previous, RTL formally decided in October 2020 to renew the series for a second season, [16] [17] which premiered on 30 March 2021, [18] [19] one week after fourth season finale of ProSieben's rival show The Masked Singer . [20]

In November 2021, RTL renewed the series for a third season, renaming as Zeig uns Deine Stimme! (English: Show us your voice!), adopted from a catchphrase by Hartwich before the "stage of truth" performance. [21] [22] It premiered with first half episodes in its prime time slot on 24 July 2022, followed by a second that resumed in its late night scheduling on 20 August 2022. [b]

Cast

The series employs a panel of celebrity "detectives" who assist the guest artist(s) and contestant(s) to identify good and bad mystery singers throughout the game. Beside with mainstays, guest panelists also appear since the second season. Overall, five members have been assigned as panelists, with their original lineup consisting of Evelyn Burdecki  [ de ], Jorge González  [ de ], Thomas Hermanns, Tim Mälzer, and Judith Rakers. [30]
