Modeling & Acting Graduate:
Kimberly Gilbert

Maile School Professional Modeling and Acting grad Kimberly Gilbert was born in NY and raised in Florida. She has been modeling and acting for quite some time.

Kimberly says, “This has always been my passion ever since I was 12 yea rs old? I’ve had many obstacles that I had to face but nothing was going to stop me.

So I’ve entered a competition and who knows what the outcome will be. I hold this competition close to me, it’s not just about money or a cover of a magazine it’s about Representing a Brand that helps cancer patients. As I am a cancer survivor.

It only makes sense to be the face because I too experienced this disease and I BEAT IT! I’m here to inspire everyone who has been affected by it and show that no matter what you can do whatever you want and not let cancer defeat you! You can still be who you are, still be beautiful, and still live a healthy life. I want to be the voice for everyone going through this and this platform is a good way to start.”

Well said Kimberly.

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.
