quickly pulled the rug from under us, it became clear Sarah Lynn wasn’t just a cutesy character—she was a lost child star longing for true affection, ultimately finding comfort only in her addiction.

of her evolution while revisiting her time on Netflix’s dramedy, which premiered a decade ago.

How much did you know about her going in?I knew Raphael Bob-Waksberg because we were all doing improv at the Peoples Improv Theater in New York City.

I think maybe it does to see what Sarah Lynn is wearing or what her eyes are like. It did, I guess.
AVC: What was the actual process of recording with Raphael like? Did you feel like you were able to hone something you didn’t know about voice acting at that point?It was good. It was in a little booth, almost like a steel shed booth in an office and I could see Raphael through a tiny window. As for recording it, and I get this way with Mabel and Louise too, but I love these characters. But with Sarah Lynn, it got to a much more raw place than I’m used to going in animation.
