The first season of the German television mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice premiered on RTL as a two-night pilot episode on 18 and 19 August 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that immediately halted its production, this prematurely ended season had also a similar fate to the second season of the Philippine counterpart.

Gameplay

Format

According to original South Korean rules, the guest artist and contestant(s) eliminate mystery singers at the end of each round, with the last remaining mystery singer ended up in a duet performance by one of the guest artists.

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.

Rounds

1. First impression (German: Erster Eindruck)
   The guest artist and contestant are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
2. Lip sync (German: Das Playback)
   Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.
3. Fact or fake? (German: Fakt oder Fake?)
   The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.
4. Cross-examination (German: Kreuzverhör)
   The guest artist and contestant may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
