Thrilled to have been interviewed for this article in yahoo entertainment: ‘Ariana doesn't want to be pigeonholed’ Broadway vocal and acting coach Tracey Grimaldi notes that the phenomenon of lingering accents isn’t exclusive to actors. It can also affect people who intentionally or subconsciously modify their “regional” dialects to fit a specific mold — whether it’s for a job, a partner or a desire to reinvent their identity. “It took Henry Winkler decades to shed being just ‘The Fonz’ and get cast again,” Grimaldi, who hasn’t personally worked with Grande or Butler, explained about the actor’s Happy Days role, drawing a parallel to the actors. “Ariana doesn’t want to be pigeonholed, so she’s evolving. She was very anxious during her pop star years, and this is part of her transformation.” Adjusting one’s accent or voice can also influence career opportunities, sometimes for better or worse. Grimaldi points to Madonna, who adopted a British accent while married to Guy Ritchie, and Christian Bale, whose mastery of various dialects left fans surprised to learn he’s actually British. “If you stay stuck in one thing, you risk being ‘Snooki from Jersey Shore’ forever,” she said, emphasizing that these shifts are a natural part of growth and reinvention. She also urges fans to show patience with actors navigating these changes. “Ozempic controversy aside, we applaud performers for losing weight, hitting the gym and transforming their body for a role. So, why do we judge them for transforming their voice?” she added. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ariana-grande-tapped-into-glindas-voice-austin-butler-couldnt-let-go-of-elvis-heres-why-some-dialects-linger-long-after-the-credits-roll #broadwaymusicals #wickedmovie #voicelessons #glinda #tgstudionyc #arianagrande #wickedmusical
