Ella Balinska isn't just the "voice actor". The character in the game looks exactly like her. She's just being an actor. The character is just her.
She's going to be a darling child of the entertainment media for a while, so it's funny that she's going to be so strongly associated with a shitty game:
she's black looking, but "one of the good ones" because like Obama her blackness isn't American, she's british and mixed race
she downplays her blackness. media types don't like angry blacks like John Boyega who chimp out and scream racism when they don't get their way
although her skin tone is dark enough to be deemed "black" her facial features are 100% white looking, so she's basically just a hot (not giving my opinion, but broadly people will consider her to be hot) white woman with the skin tone slider turned down
So she's perfect for what the hollywood types want: a "black" woman who fully checks the boxes, without any of the bitter aftertaste they get from other blacks.
Expect to see her very in-demand and forced into lots of stuff.

That's a "citation needed" the size of the red eye of Jupiter...
