The Maile Image Modeling & Acting School, Orlando FL

In the modeling and acting industry, it can be confusing trying to determine whom to trust. The Maile School is one you can trust with your career. The school is consistent and capable. Their curriculum keeps up with the ever-changing industry. Their students consistently audition and work. The Maile School staff also maintain great relationships with industry professionals such as casting directors, photographers, and talent agencies.

I’m taking the advanced acting class now (with Lance who is AWESOME) and took the adult one previously. Also took modeling classes as a young kid. The staff is great. The instructors really care and combine different acting methods while also informing you about the business side of things. I leave every class feeling warm and fuzzy and excited to learn more. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll learn, and you’ll walk away with a sense of direction and hopefully some new friends of all ages.)

This school is really amazing for anyone looking to get into or stay active in acting and all the other programs they offer. Everyone here is super nice and welcomes you with open arms. Additionally, each month there are numerous drop in classes and seminars for anyone to take! Would 10/10 recomend for all ages and personalities looking to explore their talents.

This is much more than an acting school! It was a place of therapy, a place to gain new friends/family and lots of fun! The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, pulling the best out of you in a loving way. I love the diversity in age, ethnicity and experience in the students and staff. No matter your skill level there was always something to learn and to give. I would be so tired some nights coming to class after working but the instructor along with my classmates always had a way of reviving me!

A fantastic school for the aspiring performer (Be you new to acting, modeling, or image coaching, or, have some experience, or your are a seasoned professional!) The acting classes, I, as well as my daughter and son have taken, have been spot-on, informative and educationally pragmatic. I particularly appreciate the level of talent, professionalism and genuine caring exhibited from all the Team Members/Instructors that teach and work here! All are truly welcome at The Maile School and I think you will feel just that, when you give their phenomenal classes a try!

Amazing school. Lovely teachers. Excellent classes and in depth knowledge. Highly recommended. Couldn't find a better place, in fact Im pretty sure this is the only place like this in Orlando.

I took an Adult Advanced Acting class at the Maile school and it was the best thing I could have done for my budding career! The staff is incredible and knowledgeable. They’re kind and walk you through the entire beginning processes of being in the industry! Jim and Dynell are amazing and Debby is such a trusted friend and resource! I can’t wait to take my next class there!

I took the Beginner acting class that started this past summer. I honestly did not know I was going to enjoy this as much as I did. Let me start with Debbie she is full of life and she has a great energy. She is always there for you to answer any questions. The receptionists are very friendly and efficient. The Acting coaches are AMAZING! Each one of them challenges you in different ways making you step out of your comfort zone. I discover skills I did not know I had. I have become more knowledgeable and confident about this Industry thanks to Lisa Maile School <3

Both myself and my son have/do attend the Maile school. Such a great school to start or to master your craft! Highly recommend!

When I wanted to pick up on camera acting, I had no idea where to start but I heard nothing but amazing things about Maile. So I gave the Maile school a try and I can honestly say that I’m so happy that I chose them. They have been there from the start with leading me in the right direction of headshots, agency, ect. With the classes having a set syllabus with Phenomenal instructors that are in the business, you can really see the progress. Such welcoming environment and a dedicated staff to helping you with ANY questions!
THANK YOU MAILE

I started with the Saturday modeling program. I had so much fun and I learned a lot. I learned how to do a cold read and the program helped me gain so much confidence. Mrs Debby and the rest of the teachers are so kind and professional. She makes the class fun and she connects with all the kids. The teachers tell the parents about what’s going on in the classes and they keep them updated. They even have seminars for how to involve your kid more in the industry.i love the Maile School there like my second home.

The Maile School is Great. I took the Advanced Modeling and Adult Acting class. Now I am signed with 2 amazing agency's and I continue to take classes there to work on my craft and learn from some of the best teachers.

My daughter attended the summer camp and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Instructors were amazing and helpful and my daughter's self confidence improved significantly. Only downfall was the make up artist who did a terrible job on my daughter. Other than that its was an amazing summer camp. I highly recommend Mailes to anyone.

The staff is very professional. My daughter was enrolled in the teen acting camp and all of her instructors were knowledgeable about the industry. Her self confidence soared and I witnessed a visible growth in her acting ability. The school provided all the right tools needed to begin her path into the industry. We are hoping to enroll her in the Imaging classes next summer as I heard parents rave about that course while I was there. Thank you Debby and staff for providing such a valuable experience.

If you are searching for a place to learn and live the craft of “acting”, then look no further! The Maile School should be your #1 choice when searching for education, training and professional guidance in the field of Performing Arts. As a 50 year old “newbie” to the PA field, I have been able to acquire the skills I need to satisfy a life long dream of participating in a live musical production. From their intensive advanced acting course, to improvisation with a real world Improv Troupe performance, I always felt that the professional instruction I was receiving was top notch; industry best! I always feel welcomed at the school, and there is an infectious feeling of empowerment from the entire staff that results with positive results! If you are looking for vocal instruction to fire up that karaoke career, Jim Braswell is IT! With a strong professional career as a singer, performer and actor, Jim can transform the worst sounding you in the best sounding you! If your acting career is serious, then The Maile School is seriously for you.

My daughter attended a 1-day acting workshop in early Spring at Maile and she liked that so much that we decided to do 2 full summer camps (which are the same programs held on Saturdays during the school year). She took teen acting and teen modeling, and she loved both. Here's what I loved about the "camps" (they're really just solid classes) : after the first day of acting class and of modeling class, my daughter and every single kid in the class had created a group chat to stay in contact with each other. As a helicopter mom who reads her kid's texts, the content of the group chat was wholesome, supportive, and positive every single time. The Maile School make sure the parents are just as informed as the kids, in case the child wants to get serious about the industry. They include multiple instructors for the acting classes, and they happened to be strong, capable women, which is always a bonus. And speaking of great role models, Miss Debby is consistently positive, constructive, and supportive of all the kids, ALL THE TIME. She's a business owner and created her own success story, and shares that positivity with her kids and their parents. The photo attached was my favorite headshot taken by their photographer, and I love it! I can't highly recommend Maile enough; we drive across town to make it happen because my daughter has thrived there, and we hope to be part of their family in the years to come.

The staff here are amazing and truly care about the kids. My daughter recently graduated from the teen acting camp and she loved it and made lots of new friends that she’s excited about. It really helped her come out of her shell and learn more about the industry.

Auditions are always being held. Casting director John does not play around. Serious actors only!

The classes offered here are wonderful for all ages! My child, my boyfriend, and his child are all currently enrolled in the acting classes and are enjoying learning all about the “industry” and how to break into it.
The instructors are all top notch and will help you any way they can if you take the initiative and follow their coaching. I can see why they have produced so many working actors right here in Orlando and beyond! I highly recommend these classes for anyone interested in the entertainment or modeling industry!

I’ve really enjoyed taking classes at the Maile School and would suggest this place to anyone looking to pursue a career in acting or modeling. The teachers are great and I am starting more classes
