New York, NY (Top40 Charts) BBC One has commissioned Thames and Naked (both part of Fremantle) to produce I Can See Your Voice - a brand-new primetime mystery music guessing game that promises a whole new take on the singing gameshow genre as well as lots of music, comedy and play-along fun for the whole family to enjoy.
Each episode of the 8 x 60-minute series will see a team of two players aiming to win a cash prize by guessing who can and can't sing from a group of mystery singers standing before them. But there's a catch, can they predict who has the voice of an angel or who will leave them covering their ears in horror all without ever hearing them sing a note? Helping the players will be our panel of celebrity experts, who are joined each week by a different singing superstar.
As the singing sensations or musical masqueraders navigate through a round of lip sync challenges, they will be offering entertaining hidden clues to the panel of celebrity experts who will help the players whittle down the group until there's only one singer left. The chosen one will then perform a duet with the singing superstar to reveal whether they can or can't sing. If the players have picked a good singer then they will take the prize… but if a bad singer is revealed, the imposter will pocket the cash.
I Can See Your Voice will prove that when it comes to singing talent, what you see isn't always what you get!
