Sedato

Sedato (Your voice) is an Iranian television mystery music game show series, based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. Also as the first adaptation to entirely broadcast through a streaming television service since the show's premiere on 31 May 2023, it has aired two seasons on Filimo.

Format
Presented with a group of six "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, a contestant 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 four rounds. At the end of the game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of performing itself, depending on contestant's choice.

The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving a petty cash 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 for a chance to win a main prize by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad.

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. At the conclusion of performances, the contestant eliminates one mystery singer from each group.
