Jim Braswell’s Drop in Monthly Workshop

The Maile School Presents:
Jim Braswell’s Drop in Monthly Workshop!

 

Jim says, “One of the best things about living in LA was the fact that if I wasn’t working, I was always in a class. When I first moved back to Orlando, I wanted to keep that focus and stay in a class to continue working on my craft. Because of my full-time job at Disney, that was virtually impossible. All of the local classes required an 8 or 12 week commitment. That is why Debby and I are starting this monthly drop in class. So you can stay on top of your game without a long commitment. Most everything I teach, technique wise, is Stanislavski based. Those of you that have been in my classes know my style. Those of you that haven’t, come and check it out!”

The next available workshop is Wednesday, Aug 15th from 6pm to 10pm.

Don’t miss this exciting hands on industry workshop. Seating is limited a nd seats are already filling up. Great to add to your resume under training and staying current with your acting skills.

Meet Maile School STAR Grad: Rico Sita

Maile School STAR Grad: Rico Sita

 Maile grad Rico Sita is a Designer, Builder, Stand-up Comedian, Actor, Baseball Coach, Husband and Father. If that weren’t enough to do at the same time, he added a new title…Game Show Contestant.

 That’s right… he made it on to the ABC popular show Wheel Of Fortune. He did extremely well walking away with over $8500. Not bad for 20 minutes.

Rico worked in the family business of construction and after much success the economy tanked and people began to panic. But not Rico, he said “I did what most people would do…I became a comedian (it’s cheaper than going to therapy or happy hour). After experiencing this unexplainable feeling of performing I knew I was meant to do more than what I was doing. I was in construction for over 20 years and my soul wanted more. I was approached by producers who wanted me to host a construction reality show on a cable network because of the ability to do stand-up. I thought it was the answer, but they wanted to suppress the comedic side. That wasn’t gonna happen so with some good advice from people around me I created my own show on youtube.”

 A Hollywood producer told Rico to take acting classes so he can learn to be better.

He loves hard work, challenges and he needed to see if this is where he really needs

to be. Fast forward to 2017, Rico enrolled in the adult on camera acting program here at The Maile School and then in the advanced program.

Rico says, “The incredible staff (of working actors) embraced us and passionately taught us what they knew. It gave me the drive and the tools to go after it. Within a few months of graduating I have completed 3 independent short films (2 serious roles and one comedic), a 30 minute independent comedy pilot, a commercial for Realtor.com and oh, that little game show with Pat Sajak!”

We look forward to seeing more from Rico. To keep with him please visit and his website at www.RicoSita.com

Maile School Star Grad:
Doreen Ratigan

Doreen first discovered the Maile School when her daughter, Anise, took the Kids Acting program back in 2004. She said she was very impressed with the organization and professionalism of The Maile School, and the opportunities offered to students, both young and adult.

Doreen is preparing to retire from 35 years of public school teaching and has decided to launch her 2nd career as a print model and commercial film actor.  She has a strong background in theater, music and dance and always enjoyed performing on stage.

Doreen says, “The perfect preparation for me was to register at The Maile School in the Adult On Camera Acting program. This program gave me everything I needed to build my audition skills and self-confidence in commercial acting. We had the opportunity to learn from successful working actors, meet local talent agents, and casting directors. An additional bonus was meeting an amazing group of fellow actors who will become my friends and colleges for years to come!  I met and signed with a talent agent at one of the many free seminar offered to Maile students and graduate”.

Doreen is proud to say she is a working actor. She booked an extra part along with her daughter Anise a hip hop music video, produced by former Maile School graduate and pop singer, Alexis Kritsky. The song is titled “Cross the Line”. She was interviewed on WKMG Local 6, about the video and the mission to end bullying in schools.

She can be seen in promotional brochures and videos for Sun Communities, Inc. an international company owning over 600 retirement properties in the United States. She also landed TV work for the Home Shopping Network (HSN) as a cosmetics product model.

Doreen says, “This is only the beginning of a wonderful new adventurous career! Thanks to the Maile School staff and teachers’ training and guidance, I know I am on the road to success!”

Doreen is beautiful inside and out. Go for it Girl!
