Professional Modeling Program for Adults!

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.

Maile Star Grad: Josie Pantoja

Maile Star Grad: Josie Pantoja


 At the age of two, Josie grabbed an open mic during a family birthday party and put on a show! This 12-year-old triple threat has been singing, acting, and dancing ever since.

Josie keeps a busy schedule, balancing Honor Roll academics while singing at local festivals, such as, The Kids and Family Expo, The Back to School Music Festival and she will be performing in November at The Festival of Trees as well as other venues throughout the year. In addition she performs in two theater performances a year, whilst also taking acting, voice and dance classes.

Josie’s love for performing has rewarded her with a trip to California to represent Team USA at the World Championship of Performing Arts, an upcoming trip to Atlanta to sing at The Child Model Magazine Summer Fashion Parade, an appearance in an Universal Studios commercial, an acting role in the soon to be released anti-bullying film “AMRAK” (which will be shown at The Urban Film Festival at Universal Studios this November), and the opportunity to participate in classes and workshops at the Maile Studio due to her winning Maile School annual Talent Show!

Josie chose to be homeschooled this year to pursue auditions and other opportunities. This choice has already proven to be worthwhile, as she has been selected for a key role at the Orlando Repertory Theater’s musical performance of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”.

Marisol, Josies mom says, “Thank you to Maile’s for the acting classes and workshops Josie has attended. They have helped Josie build confidence and improve her ability to express herself in her day-to-day life. Maile’s has taught her to believe in her talent and that she can do anything she puts her mind to!”

Meet Maile School Makeup Artist Lisa Armstrong

   Meet Maile School Makeup Artist Lisa Armstrong

lisa-maile-schoolLisa says, “My love for skincare and makeup began as a very young girl. I can remember my mother sitting at her makeup table with a mirror that had light bulbs all around it. After cleansing, she would carefully shake her yellow and orange oils from Alexander DeMarkoff and apply these intriguing serums and creams on her face and around her eyes. Her dewy complexion glowed from her foundation and her eyes were skillfully lined with black pencil followed with mascara. Thanks to my mother I learned to take care of my skin at an early age. Making a paste with my Charles of the Ritz Beauty beads I would exfoliate every week. I too was the girl in 7th grade with eyeliner on! Long before there was Birchbox, there was Cosmetique. I would get so excited when my $9.99 monthly box of skincare, makeup and perfume treasures would arrive. I can still remember my favorite Mary Quant lipstick, the color of bing cherries.  Vamp before my time!

This love affair with makeup lead me to a sales job at Cardeaux Faceworks and within 3 months I was counter manager. My summer job lasted 4 years! It was some of the best times I ever had. While this was a small cosmetic line, I always dreamed of working for the big prestige brands and would admire the account reps with their expensive briefcases visiting their beauty advisers.

After Cardeaux, an Image, Modeling and Acting School was opening… The Lisa Maile School. I was so excited to be one of the teachers sharing my knowledge in skincare and makeup to image students and models.  Around this time I learned of an opening for a Promotional Assistant with Estee Lauder and jumped on the job as a traveling makeup artist. It wasn’t long before I was promoted to an Account Coordinator and Account Executive handling 24 stores and 60 beauty advisers all over Florida. I finally had my designer briefcase!!make up maile school

After Lauder, I stumbled across CARA cosmetics and began learning a whole new dimension to makeup artistry and the wholesale side of cosmetics.  At CARA I worked as an Account Executive and Educator servicing CARA accounts with sales and product training.

My passion has always been teaching and doing makeup applications. I too continue learning and following some of my favorite makeup artists like Lisa Eldridge, Mary Greenwell and Carmindy to stay fresh and current.

I am fortunate to be with The Maile School for many years now, teaching classes, doing photo shoots and private lessons. The makeup classes are fun and engaging with lots of hands on demonstrations and personalized attention. So much of self- confidence is gained by having a healthy complexion and a makeup style that is all your own….a beauty that comes from within.”
