Ariana Grande Discusses Voice Changes After Wicked

Ariana Grande has revealed that the Transatlantic tone she adopted for her role as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked may have lasting effects on her speaking voice. In a recent interview with Variety, she expressed gratitude for the vocal work involved in portraying Glinda, noting, "Certain things maybe won’t melt away... what a beautiful thing to be left with". Grande acknowledged the time spent developing her character's mannerisms, which have led to changes in her voice that some have mocked. She also mentioned the impact of her vocal health on her speaking style, suggesting a habit of maintaining her character's voice after two years of filming. The film has been a success, grossing over $640 million worldwide, and Grande is set to reprise her role in a planned sequel. Additionally, she humorously noted that she is still looking for her eyebrows, which she has kept blonde since filming.
