Ariana Grande Addresses Fans' Surprise Over Voice Change
Ariana Grande recently appeared on Penn Badgley's podcast, Podcrushed, where they discussed their shared experiences as former child actors. During the interview, Grande addressed recent revelations about alleged troubling behaviour behind the scenes at Nickelodeon , the network that kick-started her career.
However, what captured the internet's attention was a particular moment during the interview when Grande's speaking voice unexpectedly shifted to a higher, whispery tone. Fans highlighted a significant shift in her pitch and cadence. Ariana Grande chose to respond to the circulating video in a light-hearted manner on TikTok to address criticism about her intentional change in voice, as seen in the viral video appearance. She responded to the viral incident by commenting on social media to clarify her voice change. Ariana Grande clarified on Tuesday (June 18) that the variation in her tone is completely natural. This clip quickly spread across social media, leading to speculation that her vocal change might be related to her upcoming role as Glinda in the movie adaptation of Wicked.
The pop star, the singer of "Thank U, Next," personally intervened to counter accusations from other commenters who claimed she was pretending about her way of speaking. She explained that her higher tone is a result of “habit” and her role as Glinda in Wicked, which she portrayed for two years. Fans were taken aback when Ariana Grande appeared to switch between two different accents during her June 12 appearance on Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast. Now, she's clarifying why this occurs, attributing much of it to her preparation for the role of Glinda in the upcoming Wicked films. The singer addressed the issue on the app, explaining that her voice variation is due to habits developed over two years and concerns for vocal health. She intentionally adjusts her vocal placement—high or low—depending on her singing workload. She concluded with, "I've always done this. Goodbye."
