![]() While at Frederator, Yang happened to share an office wall with Pendleton Ward, who was developing Adventure Time. After she graduated, she found herself working as a storyboard artist for Family Guy, before being tapped by Frederator Studios to work on several animated shorts. Originally from South Korea, she came to the United States to study animation at CalArts in Valencia, Calif. You might say that Yang’s foray into voice acting was a case of being at the right place at the right time. It’s a show that finds its flavor in just how random and outlandish every misadventure becomes. Her soft-spoken, easy-on-the-ears sound box provides the voices for Lady Rainicorn and Beemo on Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time, the odd-ball comedy about a boy, Finn, and his dog, Jake, living in the Land of Ooo, a post-apocalyptic candyland of sorts. When Niki Yang answers the phone, I’m startled at how much she sounds like the quirky, adorable characters she portrays on TV. This story originally published in KoreAm Journal May 2013. Niki Yang speaks life into two characters on Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time.
