Ariana Grande responds to criticism of her voice

Ariana Grande is amazed at all the attention her speaking voice is getting these days.

When asked about a clip of an interview that circulated online in which her voice changes from a low to a higher register, the singer insisted that “it’s a normal thing for people to do,” especially when it’s her job to transform.

Voices change their register especially when they have a wide range, as she does, she told Evan Ross Katz in the episode of his Shut up, Evan Podcast. Another factor is when a person has spent time using their voice in a certain way, as Grande did when filming the movie version of the musical Evil. Cynthia Erivo plays the role of the villain.

“I mean, you see male actors… Always afterward, they think, ‘Oh wow, how dedicated he was to his craft! What an incredible transformation! He’s a brilliant performer!’ And then, God forbid, I sneeze like Glinda or something, or if I do an accent… then I’m just crazy or ‘Should someone check on her?’ It’s the weirdest thing.”
