The show ran for approximately five years, contained ninety eight episodes spanning over four successful seasons, and included a surprisingly high grossing film (making an impressive 34 million during its theatrical release.) Not to mention the concerts, the tours, the 3D concert experience, the CDs, dolls, books, wigs, bedding, and millions of other products Disney sold with Miley’s face plastered all over them. She’s just wonderful.Ah, Hannah Montana the show that changed the Disney Channel forever… When the show first premiered back in 2006, no one had any way of knowing what was coming. “She is enthusiastic, energetic, loving, encouraging -she’s all those very positive things and she can really relate to the wholeness of Covenant House. Covenant House gives them a place to stay and there is a job center, and they receive three meals a day and a wardrobe for job interviews.”ĭames helps at fundraisers and spends time getting to know the youths there, said Sister Margaret Farrell, spiritual ministry coordinator. “Some are brought up in foster homes or kicked out of their house and have no job. “They take in kids 18 or over who don’t have a place to go,” Dames said. Her favorite is Covenant House in Los Angeles. “It was really fantastic! It was a dream role for me.”īut off the show’s set, she’s a champion for many charities. And then by the end of the week, I had this really big guest star role which became a recurring one,” she said. I think they had to explain why I had this snotty voice. “And it went really well, and the next day I had another scene and next day another scene. She went into the table read the following Monday and did the voice for the writers and Disney network representatives. “I brought my “Traci” voice - it’s very nasal, very snotty - and I booked the role and I was so excited!” “They needed a really obnoxiously bratty socialite,” she said. Then her agent got her a small role - two scenes - in “Hannah Montana.”

One of them was a Christmas dinner theater production, “The Day Boy and the Night Girl,” produced by the Taproot Theatre Company.Īfter she moved to California, she did a lot of sketch comedy at theaters in Hollywood. The first thing she did was flip the yellow pages to community theaters, she said. “It’s just so much fun! I was not a brat in real life, but it was fun to play one.”ĭames moved with her family to Seattle from Japan when she was 13. “I got cast as the bratty orphan “Molly” and since then, that’s all I’ve wanted to do,” she said. But then she saw an audition notice on a bulletin board for a community theater production of “Annie.” It was the first audition her parents took her to. “I previously thought I was going to be a ballerina,” she said. I get to do everything my character does.”ĭames has wanted to act since she was 9, she said. I wouldn’t be able to do that in live action. It’s really fun because the nature of the show, there are a lot of fight sequences, and the characters are fairies, so they fly.

“In some ways, it’s not different than live-action TV you are still acting,” she said. Moving from live-action TV to voice-over has offered her a new perspective on acting, Dames said. “Even if we tried to direct her to give us what we think we want, her natural instincts always surprise us by delivering more than we expected.” “Romi delivers a vocal performance that is unexpected but perfectly embodies the character,” Hodson said. When they aren’t fighting villains, they are shopping, hanging out and talking about boys.”ĭames’ depiction of Musa is unique, said Jeannine Hodson, associate producer of “Winx Club.” It’s a team of girls and they are very strong but very girly. “They call themselves the Winx, and they fight evil villains. The show is about six fairies learning to use their magical powers at fairy school. Now the Burbank resident’s new project is all about magic as she provides the voice for Musa, Fairy of Music, in Nickelodeon’s new animated series, “Winx Club.” The first of four one-hour specials premieres at 8 p.m. Seems it helped in her early years landing parts in Community Theater, and later when she auditioned for “Hannah Montana” and won the role of Traci Van Horn. Magic has always played a major role in the acting career of Romi Dames.
