On 'Wicked: For Good' Press Tour, Ariana Grande Opens Up About Training and Self-Doubt

She says sustained preparation and parallel shoots strengthened her voice, reshaping her relationship to creativity.

Overview

  • The sequel is now in cinemas as Grande promotes it internationally and discusses her process in new interviews.
  • She says she practiced every day for months before her first casting because she feared not being enough for Glinda.
  • Early rehearsal recordings sounded thin and uncertain, which she says grew clearer and bolder week by week.
  • Grande describes filming both movies in parallel with near‑continuous days in character and months of targeted vocal training.
  • Her press‑tour look has shifted to brunette, vintage pieces to echo the film’s darker tone, as she notes the project’s personal impact and cites an earlier Oscar nomination for the first installment.
