This is very exciting, considering the fact that Grande is one of the funniest women in America. However, one question settled in before hitting play on the trailer: Which voice would Grande be using? Would she still have the high-pitched Glinda voice she spent three years using while filming and promoting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/article\/is-ariana-grande-quitting-music-what-she-said.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wicked<\/a> movies? The one that sounds kind of like if you gave Katharine Hepburn the tiniest hit of helium? Or would she break free of the curse that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/2023\/02\/austin-butler-elvis-voice-golden-globes.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">plagued Austin Butler<\/a> since Elvis and return to a speaking voice that doesn\u2019t make her sound like a beautiful porcelain doll that\u2019s mysteriously come alive?<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmo1ux22y00153b7cy3m8f8uc@published\" data-word-count=\"6\">Let\u2019s all watch and find out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmo1ux25t00173b7cxgo94pff@published\" data-word-count=\"86\">She\u2019s back, baby! Grande has seemingly ditched the Glinda timbre in favor of a voice that makes her sound like a real human woman instead of a sparkly pink wannabe witch. Grande\u2019s voice sounds almost, dare I say, deep. Perhaps that\u2019s because she\u2019s playing, as she reveals in the trailer, someone who was once an \u201cFBI hostage negotiator.\u201d Bank robbers and kidnappers probably wouldn\u2019t take a twinkly soprano speaking voice very seriously, which, as an actress, Grande seems to understand and has incorporated into her performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmo1ux29900183b7ct8gqaj7a@published\" data-word-count=\"48\">De Niro <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Variety\/status\/2044574440852517060\" rel=\"nofollow\">recently said<\/a> that Grande is \u201cprobably the single most talented screen partner I\u2019ve been lucky enough to share the screen with.\u201d And you know what? I believe him. I\u2019d like to see Leonardo DiCaprio try to go straight from Glinda to former FBI employee Olivia Jones.<\/p>\n<p>          Stay in touch.<\/p>\n<p>The latest in style, self, culture, and power in your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>        Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n<p class=\"expanded-terms \" aria-hidden=\"true\">By submitting your email, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/terms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/privacy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Notice<\/a> and to receive email correspondence from us.<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Universal Pictures\/Youtube Ariana Grande is coming back to the big screen, this time starring in Focker-in-Law alongside&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":396173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[3050,458,727,1503,146,85,46,397,35616],"class_list":{"0":"post-396172","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ariana-grande","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-celebrity","11":"tag-culture","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-il","14":"tag-israel","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-wicked"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=396172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=396172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
