Pop star Ariana Grande addressed viral speculation about her fluctuating speaking voice during a recent podcast appearance. On Penn Badgley's "Podcrushed" podcast, Grande's voice dramatically shifted from a lower to a higher pitch, sparking online discussion.

Grande quickly responded to fan curiosity, explaining her vocal changes are intentional. "I intentionally change my vocal placement (high/low) often depending on how much singing I'm doing," she wrote in a TikTok comment. She attributed the vocal shift to two primary factors: habit and vocal health.

The singer, currently preparing for her Wicked film debut, suggested her voice modulation stems from her two-year preparation for the role of Glinda. Experts note that her technique involves strategically positioning her voice to reduce vocal strain, using frontal air-filled cavities to create a lighter, higher sound.

Grande's four-octave vocal range and vocal versatility continue to fascinate fans and music professionals alike.
