Why are we even having this conversation. I don’t know that much about Ariana Grande but like… wow. It’s almost like actors act! Which often includes altering their voice, putting on a dialect, or yes, speaking in a different register. And if she’s in that role so many hours a day for the duration of filming, yeah, it makes sense that it might be hard to transition out of that, or even that she might want to use that voice for promotional materials in the name of consistency and raising excitement for the movie. Let people be people and live their lives and do their jobs. Why is this controversial? Even just within singing, singers use a variety of registers and techniques to accomplish different things or achieve a certain sound. This is all craft and skill, not manipulation. I hate the epidemic of “chill.” People do stuff on purpose. For good reasons!
