The Masked Singer Australia: What Judges Look For After Clues Are Given

‘The Masked Singer’ judge Urzila Carlson has opened up about what she will be looking out for when trying to determine who the celebrities are behind the masks.

The comedian said physical traits such as the height and size of the person can make a big difference, though it’s only possible to properly see these in person.

Speaking to HuffPost Australia before she began filming this past week, Urzila said she struggled to identify the contestants by just watching TV promos.

“Well I had a look at them and was like… I’m not 100% sure because it’s difficult to guess the height and the size,” she said. “When you’re just at home you’re just seeing it on telly.

“The television can add eight kilos,” she laughed.

This year 12 mystery celebrities are set to sing their hearts out and get viewers guessing as to who they are.
