"My voice became so much healthier," Ari continued, "and I am really grateful for that."
"Even when I sing pop music now, it's drastically different. My relationship to my voice is forever changed," she concluded.
Along with her incredible vocal change, the 31-year-old eternal sunshine singer also admitted that playing the role made her "so much stronger" and aided in Ariana's healing journey.
"I feel like I've learned so much through the act of performing her when it comes to trust in self and strength," she said.
