Gameplay
Format
Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, a guest artist and 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 four rounds. At the end of the 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.[3]
Rewards
If the singer is good, the contestant wins €10.000; if the singer is bad, the same amount is given to the bad singer instead.

Each episode presents the guest artist and contestant seven 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.

Production
Background and development
Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland first announced the development of the series in June 2020.[4] Produced by Tresor Productions (a company of Keshet International),[5] the staff team is managed by executive producer Tobias Cullmann, producer Tina Allert, and director Bastien Angemeer.[6]
Filming
Filmings for the series took place at MMC Studios in Ossendorf, Cologne.[7][8] In October 2020, RTL announced the resuming of production as it was renewed for the second season in 2021 after shortlived first season broadcasts proved successful.[9][10] Since the second season, tapings have been implemented health and safety protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two episodes were completed before production was halted due to pandemic. One main reason for such interruption is lacking of safety countermeasures.[11] Tresor Productions spokesperson Jovan Evermann stated in response that the programme followed its guidelines according to the federal health department. None of the audience caught positive of virus at the end of production.[12]
Broadcast
I Can See Your Voice debuted as co-pilot episodes on 18 and 19 August 2020[13][14] as part of the network's Power Week special programming.[15][16] The second season premiered on 30 March 2021,[17][18] one week after the fourth season finale of ProSieben's rival show The Masked Singer, a German adaptation of the South Korean reality competition series.[19] The third season, now under Germanised title Zeig uns deine Stimme,[1][2] is set to premiere in 2022.[20]
Cast
The series employs a team of "celebrity panelists" who decipher mystery singers' evidences throughout the game. Alongside with full-timers and additional ones, guest panelists also appear since the second season. Throughout its broadcast, the programme has assigned 5 different panelists. The original members consist of Evelyn Burdecki, Jorge González, Thomas Hermanns, Tim Mälzer, and Judith Rakers.[21]
