Speaking to Variety alongside co-star Cynthia Erivo, Grande talked about how her singing and speaking voice has shifted to suit the role of Galinda in the film adaptation of the Broadway classic. The switch has brought some attention, but the and singer puts it down to artistic dedication.

“Maybe people underestimate how long we spent finding and disappearing into these women” she explained. “So, when certain inflections or mannerisms take time to melt away, sometimes people poke fun. But we had a job to do, and we had things to get lost in — because that’s what the piece required.”

As well as a more operatic style to her singing in the film, Grande adopted a lighter speaking tone in her acting, something she used during the film’s press tour. “I think that might stay” she said of the difference. “Galinda required a lot of vocal work for me. Certain things maybe won’t melt away. Some will, but I’m really grateful for the pieces that will stay with us forever. What a beautiful thing to be left with, and to feel the ghost of every day.”

Imagine Gaga being like “I had to unlearn how to sing to fit Lee’s voice and it stayed like that for LG7 because I couldn’t get out of character”.

Ari... girl, come on now. Even Daniel Day-Lewis could drop his character voices after shooting wrapped, and he literally lived as his characters for the duration.

It'll last about as long as Madonna's British accent did lol

I do like her lighter tone singing though. Makes the more tender tracks of Eternal Sunshine really shine.
