Grande believes the tone of her voice now, a high yet supple sequence, isn’t leaving anytime soon. “I think that might stay,” she admitted. “Galinda required a lot of vocal work for me.

“And, you know, I’m still looking for my eyebrows,” she joked about having to bleach her brows for the film. “I’ll let you know if I find them — I hope I don’t.”. Fans started noticing the artist’s vocal change throughout her string of interviews before Wicked released in theaters on November 22. Clips from her discussion with Penn Badgley on Podcrushed surfaced online, seemingly showing Grande’s voice oscilating between a lower and higher pitch, the latter being reminiscent of the soft-spoken tone she used as Galinda.
The former Victorious star commented under one of the videos from the interview, explaining that she’d spent two years speaking like that. “Also vocal health ... I intentionally change my vocal placement (high/low) often depending on how much singing I’m doing,” she went on to say.
