I Can See Your Voice Thailand is a Thai television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean programme of the same name. Since its premiere on 13 January 2016, it has aired six seasons on Workpoint TV.

Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, a guest artist 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 several 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.[a]

The Thai counterpart has two different game formats:

  • Original format
Under the original format, the guest artist(s) can eliminate mystery singers after each round, and ended with the last remaining mystery singer depending on the outcome of a duet performance by themselves.
  • Battle format (seasons 3–4)
Under the battle format (adapted from Giọng ải giọng ai), both opponents can eliminate one singer each in a single round, and then both can choose one singer each to join the final performance in the final round. At the end of the game, the conditions for winning mystery singers chosen by opposing guest artists, depending on the outcome of each final performance, if:
  1. One opposing guest artist has chosen a "good singer" and the other one has a "bad singer", or
  2. Both two opposing guest artists have chosen a "good singer" or a "bad singer".

Rounds

Visual rounds

  • The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.[b][c][d][e][f]
  • The host is given three "keywords" depending on the mystery singer's identity. Afterward, five different voice snippets from the muted video are being played.[g]

Introduction round

  • Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie.[b][c][d][e][g]

Lip sync rounds

  • Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers mime to a recording of their own performance, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.[b][c][d][e][f]
  • Separated into two phases, the mystery singers perform their lip sync, starting with good singer's recordings first and then bad singer's recordings being the last.[g]

Evidence round

  • The guest artist must assign three "mystery

songs" to one of the mystery singers of their chosen. Afterward, they must react toward that song.[g]

Interrogation round

  • The guest artist (and then panelists) may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.[b][c][f]

Talent round

Background

Production and development

After JSTV has greenlit for its first local counterpart of I Can See Your Voice,[2] Workpoint Entertainment followed suit by commencing its development in January 2016.[1] According to an interview with CJ ENM format sales director Diane Min in May 2021, she mentioned Thailand as the first country to formally air its local counterpart.[3]

Naming

For the show's fifth anniversary and its subsequent season, it was subtitled as I Can See Your Voice Festival because of its monicker that applies on a random-specific theme, affecting the cast and mystery singers.[4] For the sixth season, it was subtitled as I Can See Your Voice T-pop that actually features guest artists relating to the Thai pop music itself.[5][6]

Filming

Tapings for the programme took place at the Workpoint Studio in Bang Phun, Mueang, Pathum Thani.[3] In the fourth season, Bigo Live also co-produced the premiere episode.[7]

Since from third to fourth season, the programme was filmed under health and safety protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the sixth season, "fan clubs" of their respective guest artists as spectators are allowed.[8]

Broadcast history

I Can See Your Voice Thailand debuted on 13 January 2016. The second season immediately began on 16 August 2017, one week after the first season finale.[9][a] In collaboration with Bigo Live, Trinity played in the fourth season premiere on 4 November 2020.[12][13] For the show's fifth anniversary, a subsequent season (subtitled as I Can See Your Voice Festival) premiered on 13 October 2021[4][14] until the finale on 23 February 2022, formally concluding the six-year continuous broadcasts with 303 consecutive weekly episodes.[15][16]

After one year and three months of hiatus, the show made its return with its sixth season (subtitled as I Can See Your Voice T-pop),[5][6] premiering on 5 July 2023.[17][18]

Special episodes and companion events

The first two seasons of the show was preempted during its month-long mourning period for the death of King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej,[19] which would later follow by the airing of Memorial Showcase special.[20] Other highlight specials that have occasionally conducted are New Year's Countdown Showcase[21] and (the season-based) Summer, Rainy and Winter Showcases.[22]

Following the fourth season premiere, Bigo Live conducted a companion event titled I Can See My Voice,[13] in which the highest-voting mystery singer would allow to perform a duet alongside one of the guest artists.[7]

Cast

The series has a panel of celebrities who assist the guest artist(s) to decipher mystery singers' identities throughout the game. Alongside with mainstays, guest panelists also appear since the first season. Overall, 13 different members have been assigned, with the original lineup being Neung Jakkawal [th], Maneenuch Smerasut [th], and Thanawat Prasitsomporn [th].[23]
