Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a> may be a Grammy Award-winning singer<\/a>, but that is not the only news the songstress\u2019s voice has been in the headlines about. Fans have noticed the \u201c7 Rings\u201d singer speak in different tones throughout her career, garnering various voice-changing theories among fans.<\/p>\n While Ariana has faced voice-changing rumors throughout her career, the Wicked<\/em> star went viral in June 2024 after fans noticed she completely changed the inflection and pitch of her voice midsentence during her appearance on Penn Badgley\u2019s<\/strong> podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the only thing I thought of,\u201d Ariana said in a deep voice as she joked that she felt like Austin Powers while recording new projects. \u201cThat\u2019s how I felt. I was like, \u2018What has happened?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n As she pivoted to discuss the new music following the March release of her album Eternal Sunshine,<\/em> her voice noticeably started getting much higher. \u201cYeah, I don\u2019t know. Yeah, I\u2019ve been writing a lot,\u201d she said in a higher pitch. \u201cMaybe there\u2019s some more. I would like to do a deluxe at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n Social media exploded with questions about the singer allegedly \u201cfaking\u201d the true sound of her voice, while others defended the pop star, arguing that she was simply \u201cprotecting\u201d her vocal cords.<\/p>\n Ariana directly addressed the controversy surrounding her voice in the comments section of a video posted on TikTok from her appearance on Penn Badgley\u2019s<\/strong> podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cHabit (speaking like this for two years) and also vocal health :),\u201d the Nickelodeon alum wrote on June 18. \u201cI intentionally change my vocal placement (high \/ low) often depending on how much singing i\u2019m doing. i\u2019ve always done this BYE.\u201d<\/p>\n The Victorious<\/em> alum later faced more controversy after changing her voice for her reprisal of Glinda in the November 2024 movie adaptation of Wicked<\/em>. However, Ariana clapped back that month in an interview for the November 2024 cover of Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>, telling the outlet there was a \u201cdouble standard\u201d that punished women who \u201cgo the extra miles for roles.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a part of the world that isn\u2019t familiar with what it takes to transform your voice, whether it\u2019s singing or taking on a different dialect for a role or doing a character voice for something,\u201d she explained. \u201cWhen it\u2019s a male actor that does it, it\u2019s acclaimed \u2026 Tale as old as time being a woman in this industry. You are treated differently, and you are under a microscope in a way that some people aren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something that I\u2019m just really proud of,\u201d she explained of her role of Glenda in Wicked<\/em>. \u201cPart of why I did want to engage [on TikTok] is because I am really proud of my hard work and of the fact that I did give 100 percent of myself, including my physicality, to this role. I am proud of that, so I wanted to protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Do Fans Believe Ariana Grande Changed Her Voice?<\/h2>\n
