HuffPost
The singer said she's "under such a microscope" in a recent podcast interview.
Ariana Grande is saving her tears amid internet trolls blasting her voice change after a recent clip from her appearance on Penn Badgley’s “Podcrushed” show went viral online.
In the clip from the June 17 episode, the singer’s voice appeared to fluctuate from a lower timbre to a higher-pitched tone mid-conversation.
The crooner, 31, has faced major criticism in the past on social media over her changing voice, which she said she altered to play Glinda in the upcoming film “Wicked” and to preserve her “vocal health.”
During Tuesday’s episode of the “Shut Up Evan” podcast with Evan Ross Katz, Grande defended her shifting tone, explaining that voice changing is “a normal thing people do, especially if you have a large range.”
The “Thank U, Next” musician went on to attribute “muscle memory” for her oscillating voice after training for years to play her “Wicked” character “every single day.”
