I Can See Your Voice franchise

Ma näen su häält (English: I Can See Your Voice) is an Estonian television mystery music game show based on the South Korean programme of the same title. It first aired on Kanal 2 on 27 February 2022.[2][3]

Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers" that identified only by their occupation, a guest artist and a pair of contestants must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the selection without ever hearing them perform live, over the course of four 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.

If the last remaining mystery singer is good, the contestants win a cash prize;[a] this is also applied to the winning bad singer selected by them.

Rounds

Visual round

  • First impression (Estonian: Esimene mulje)
s1–3: The guest artist and contestants are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.

Lip sync round

  • Moving the mouth (Estonian: Suu liigutamine)
s1–3: 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.

Evidence round

  • Home video (Estonian: Koduvideo)
s1–3: The guest artist and contestants are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.

Interrogation round

  • Cross-examination (Estonian: Ristküsitlus)
s1–3: The guest artist and contestants may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.

Production

Following the successful broadcasts of Maskis laulja,[6] TV3 has initially made interest to produce a local adaptation of I Can See Your Voice in Estonia,[7] as per CJ ENM's dealing with Fremantle in November 2020.[8][9] Duo Media Networks would later acquire the rights in January 2022,[10] with Ruut assigning on production duties.[7][11]

One day after concluding its first season, Kanal 2 already renewed the series for a second season,[14] which premiered on 18 September 2022;[15] this also conducted an in-game event Ma kuulen su häält (English: I Can Hear Your Voice) and a postgame aftershow Ma nägin su häält (English: I Saw Your Voice).[16]
