Ariana Grande, a Golden Globe nominee for her performance in "Wicked," addressed the vocal changes she implemented for the role. She indicated that some of these voice alterations might be long-lasting.

During an interview with Variety, published on January 2, Ariana mentioned, "I think that might stay." She referred to her higher vocal register and crisper articulation as key elements for Galinda's character. She acknowledged that while some aspects may fade, she appreciates those modifications that will remain. Ariana expressed, "What a beautiful thing to be left with, and to feel the ghost of every day."

At 31, she emphasized the dedicated effort involved in shaping these vocal changes. Both Ariana and her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, invested significant time in becoming their characters. Ariana noted, "Maybe people underestimate how long we spent finding and disappearing into these women." She highlighted that the public may poke fun at lingering mannerisms and inflections. She reaffirmed their commitment to the role: "But we had a job to do, and we had things to get lost in—because that’s what the piece required."

This is not the first time Ariana, known for her hit "One Last Time," has responded to critics regarding her voice transformation. In a September interview with Vanity Fair, she revealed, "There is a part of the world that isn’t familiar with what it takes to transform your voice." She spoke of the complexities of adopting different dialects or character voices for roles.

Amid the discussions on her vocal shifts, Ariana didn't shy away from sharing her perspective. She stated, "Part of why I did want to engage [with critics] is because I am really proud of my hard work." She insisted that she dedicated herself entirely to the role, including her physical approach. "I am proud of that, so I wanted to protect it."

Earlier, SSP wrote that Lucy Hale celebrated three years of sobriety.
