Whether bringing animated characters to life or lending her voice to one of the eeriest and most recognizable figures on TV, sheβs continuously honed her skills to leave a specific mark on each project she touches. From Pixarβs Elemental to Netflix phenomenon Squid Game, Reaganβs unique talent brings a distinct depth and precision to each project.Β
As the English dub voice of the unforgettable “red light, green light” doll from the series, To collaborated closely with directors to capture the characterβs unsettling tone, honing the subtle emotional shifts required, even within just a few lines.Β
The animatronic from the Netflix series is named Young-hee, a large doll with a motion-sensing eye that detects when players in the “Red Light, Green Light” game move during the “red light” phase, leading to their (gory) elimination. Inspired by a character from traditional Korean children’s books, her presence on the show instead points to nothing but danger.Β
“For that Squid Game audition, I didn’t even have a microphone- I just recorded it from my phone because that was really my first voice-over audition…Now I feel like I’ve learned so much and I’ve become, hopefully, a better voice actor and actress.”
Her role went viral, with over 330 million viewers and 2 billion hours watched of the show. Her success continued when Pixarβs Elemental, in which she voiced βBig Kid Emberβ, went on to be nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Criticsβ Choice Award.
To has been a creative force to watchβand sheβs only getting started.
