Singapore will have its own version of the hit South Korean mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice. The show will be organised by Mediacorp, the company stated recently. Mediacorp has also urged Singaporeans to audition for the upcoming show.
I Can See Your Voice is a successful format by South Korea-based leading entertainment company CJ ENM and is available in more than 30 countries. The Singapore edition will premiere in January 2025, joining Mediacorp’s suite of unscripted formats like Star Search, Vasantham Star and Berani Nyanyi as the company continues to expand its diverse content offerings for its audiences.
Participants can be either skillful singers with amazing stage presence, or off-key but charismatic and highly expressive individuals with the confidence to fool the world. Hopefuls aged 18 and above (as of 31 July 2024) can apply by submitting a one-minute video clip featuring a brief self-introduction and performance of their favourite song without a backing track via mediacorp.sg/icanseeyourvoice by 31 August.
What is the show about?
In this highly entertaining variety programme, a mixed group of both good and bad singers will put on performances to either prove their singing prowess or conceal the fact that they cannot carry a tune. Faced with their acts, celebrity contestants must use their reasoning and intuition to guess their vocal abilities and systematically eliminate the bad singers across multiple rounds, with the aim of retaining a good singer as the last standing person.
Meanwhile, a panel of celebrity detectives will also offer commentaries that may either aid or mislead their decisions. And as the show reaches the grand reveal in each episode, the last standing singer will get to walk away with a grand cash prize — regardless of singing ability!
This interactive format, which encourages audiences to also conduct their own guessing, effectively blends suspense, comedy, and impressive stage acts in a show that is set to enthrall.
Virginia Lim, Chief Content Officer, Mediacorp said: “We are thrilled to present the first local adaptation of the highly successful I Can See Your Voice and are set to bring our audiences through weeks of family friendly, dynamic entertainment. Beyond the excitement and suspense that comes with game shows, fans can also look forward to the unique showcase of raw performing talent beyond conventional singing abilities. And to those who feel you have what it takes to be a mystery singer, join our auditions today!”
Angeline Poh, Chief Customer and Corporate Development Officer, Mediacorp, said: “I Can See Your Voice has achieved tremendous success and popularity globally, and we are delighted to now bring this innovative format to our audiences. This underscores Mediacorp’s commitment to deliver a dynamic range of quality entertainment, as we continue to build upon our suite of non-scripted offerings catered to the evolving preferences of today’s audiences. We are confident that the show’s distinctive concept will be a hit, and hope everyone will enjoy the show when it hits the screens!”
