Professional Modeling Program for Adults

*Pictured is an ad from The Orlando Science Center using Maile School graduates.

Have you ever looked at an ad or commercial and thought,
 “I can do that? But am I too old?” Well, think again! You are NOT!

The Maile School offers a special program on adult modeling and commercials.

 Unlike fashion modeling, which requires you to be tall and a certain size, commercial modeling is available to a much more diverse array of people.

Our commercial modeling program prepares students for the different types of work here in the Central Florida market. This includes print, informal, auditioning runway and commercial modeling.

The modeling opportunities in this area does not require you to have a certain height, weight, or age restrictions. All types are needed to sell Disney, Publix, Sea World, Hospitals, Walmart, etc.

For example, If you can believably look like the nurse, mom, sister, grandparent, teacher, store clerk, patient, etc., you will be considered for commercial modeling work.  Clients look for real everyday types.

When you book a commercial modeling job this usually will be 1 day booking for several hours and the payout can be big.

The Maile School trains students to work in the industry.
Our program is 8 weeks on Tuesdays from 6pm to 9pm beginning December 5th.

All students experience a professional photo shoot where you get your headshot taken. This is a tool you must have to get listed with the reputable agents.

Hands on training in the different types of work available as well as modeling in a fashion show at Macys. Also included is our information session on breaking into the business where we take you from start to finish, helping you get represented with a real agent, castings, how to create your resume, avoiding scams and so much more.

Remember all age’s work in this exciting modeling and acting market. So if modeling interests you but you’re concerned about your age, don’t be.

Meet Maile School Star Talent: Frank Monroe

Maile School
Star Talent: Frank Monroe

Maile School is happy to share adult acting grad Frank Monroe’s story.

Frank is known to fans as “Khing Jus Wurk” and has made his life’s work pushing boundaries and accomplishing the unexpected. A product of the foster system after his biological parents were denied custody following drug abuse, Khing has done the unimaginable. The first person in his family to go to college. Khing is in the pursuit of becoming a household name in the industry as a rapper, model, fitness enthusiast, and actor. Khing is a rapper you can root for; a true Cinderella story and an inspiration to every young person on the streets who feels that they cannot accomplish anything. He is successful because of his tenacity and perseverance.

Frank says, “Without the lessons I learned at The Maile School I would not have been prepared for being on set. I learned how to handle myself as well as what to expect. I was able to follow the lead of the directors, hit my marks as instructed and to listen before acting as told by my instructors. Improv was a big part of being on the set of “Marvels Black Panther”. My role was a Border Warrior and I really fell into the role. I advocates that through hard work and effort, anything is possible.

Having spent his childhood in group homes, foster care, homeless, and even in jail, he never knew what his future would hold, but he never gave up the faith that eventually things would all fall in place – and that’s what happened.

Some of his industry work includes LG G6, Full Sail Productions, KO5M Clothing, VH1 and Marvels Black Panther as a Border Warrior.

Franks says, “I enjoy life as a performer, entertainer and traveling the world and sharing my story”.

Continued success to you!

The Maile School has been training talent since 1982!
