Format

Presented with a group of six "secret singers" identified only by their occupation, a contestant 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 six rounds.[1][2][3][4] The contestant must eliminate one singer at the end of each of the first five rounds, receiving $10,000 if they eliminate a bad singer.

In the first two rounds ("Lip Sync Challenge"), the singers are divided into two groups of three, and participate in a lip sync performance to one song each. The bad singers mime to a recording by someone else, and the good singers mime to a recording of their own performance. In the third round ("Unlock My Life"), the contestant is presented a video clue package relating to one of the four remaining singers of their choice. In the fourth round ("Secret Studio"), the contestant is presented a video recording from a studio session by one of the three remaining singers of their choice, although the audio is pitch-shifted so they cannot clearly hear their vocals. In the fifth round ("Interrogation"), the contestant may question one of the final two singers for 30 seconds.

In the sixth and final round, the contestant may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it for a chance to win $100,000 by correctly guessing whether the last remaining singer is good — revealed by means of a duet with one of the guest panelists.

Production

Fox first announced the series during the Television Critics Association' January 2020 press tour, with plans to run a pilot episode with Ken Jeong (who serves as a panelist on The Masked Singer, Fox's adaptation of another South Korean format) as host.[5] Following the successful pilot, Fox ordered I Can See Your Voice to series in February 2020, casting Ken Jeong as host.[6] Jeong also serves as a co-executive producer, alongside The Masked Singer executive producer Craig Plestis, and James McKinlay.[7]

One episode was completed before production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic (with the series not being aired in production order, the episode was aired later in the season).[8] Fox resumed production with no audience under enhanced safety protocols in August 2020, becoming one of the network's first non-scripted series to do so.[9] On August 26, 2020, Fox announced that singer Adrienne Houghton and actress Cheryl Hines would serve as regular celebrity panelists.[3]

On January 27, 2021, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season with plans to air later in 2021.[10]
