Ariana Grande defends her dramatic speaking voice pitch changes after shocking fans: It's 'a normal thing people do'

Ariana Grande again defend the wild fluctuations in vocal pitch that she displayed last month while recording a podcast.

She later defended the rapid-fire changes on social media as a remnant of her time speaking in a higher register while filming the upcoming Wicked adaptation and her constant attempts to preserve her voice's health. Ultimately, Ariana didn't seem too concerned about her shifting voice, which she previously partially attributed to her focus on vocal health, which she called 'a full-time commitment' and 'a lifestyle' during her latest podcast appearance. In her response, which she posted in the comments to a TikTok video highlighting her rapid-fire vocal change, Ariana indicated that part of the issue was that she had gotten used to speaking in her higher voice for Wicked, in which she stars as Galinda Upland, later known as Glinda the Good.
