Season 2

The first season of the American television mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice premiered on Fox on September 23, 2020, and concluded on December 9, 2020.

For this season, one episode was completed before production was halted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1] In August 2020, Fox resumed production with no audience under enhanced health and safety protocols being implemented, becoming one of the network's first non-scripted series to do so.[2]

Gameplay[]

Format[]

Under the original format, the contestant can eliminate one or two mystery singers after each round. The game concludes with the last mystery singer standing that depends on outcome of a duet performance with a guest artist.[3]

Rewards[]

The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each of first five rounds, receiving $10,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of the game, the contestant may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it if they believe that the last remaining mystery singer is a good singer. If the singer is good, the contestant wins $100,000; if the singer is bad, the contestant loses all of their winnings.[4]

Rounds[]

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

  1. Lip Sync Challenge
    The mystery singers are divided into two groups of three, and participate in a lip sync performance to one song each. At the conclusion of the performances, the contestant eliminates one performer from each group.
  2. Unlock my Life
    The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video clue package in which one of the mystery singers discusses their life and musical qualifications. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie to deceive them.
  3. Secret Studio
    The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video recording from a studio session by one of the mystery singers, although the audio is pitch-shifted so they cannot clearly hear their vocals.
  4. Interrogation
    The contestant can converse and ask questions of one of the remaining two mystery singers, who speaks in their own unaltered voice. As before, good singers must answer truthfully, while bad singers may lie.
