Ariana Grande is speaking out again in response to people criticizing her voice and how she sometimes sounds different.

Keep reading to find out more… Ariana said on the Smartless podcast, “The thing that I do that perplexes people so much—and it’s just so funny because if you’re a person who uses their voice, you know about this, is if I have a long day of press or if I have to sing, I’ll place [my voice] a little higher.” “I’ll change my vocal placement to kind of preserve.

But that is just something that’s healthy for the voice. It’s just basically pitching your voice up a tiny bit,” she added. “It’s just a normal thing for vocalists.

But people are like, ‘That’s not her natural voice.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, it is actually, but it’s just a little higher. All of it is natural.’” This isn’t the first time that Ariana has talked about the subject and she knows that people are continuing to make negative comments.
