Ariana Grande's passion for singing began in her musical family, who loved karaoke. She credits divas like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey as her inspiration. Grande trained her voice in coloratura, a soprano technique, and felt a deep connection to the role of Glinda in 'Wicked'. She emphasizes the collaborative nature of the production and the importance of embracing nerves as positive energy.
star Ariana Grande grew up in a musical family, and can't remember a time in her life when she wasn't signing."As soon as I could speak, I was singing," she says.
"That operatic sound needed to be strengthened and found in my voice and trained to become authentic sounding," she says."And what was really fun and interesting about that was that I went to get my vocal cords checked at the beginning of my training process to see if I could see a difference and like the muscle, like just how the shape is. You can actually track the cords changing shape while I was training.
It's all a mental dance. So it's important to learn how to navigate those guys and be able to embrace and also keep them where they're supposed to be.The emotional context of what we're singing about sometimes can evoke the performance to be different, take to take. … And also with the comedic elements. I love to improv. I love to surprise people. So I also, as Glinda, kind of required that freedom to be able to do whatever felt most honest and"Glinda" in the moment.
