SCHOOL NEWS June 2005 Witch Tales! Keep an eye open next year for an exciting new movie based on the popular Witch Girls Tales comics. Magna Graphix Productions has developed their award winning comic book series into a SAG live action movie! The Witch Girls Tales movie will follow the adventures of two young witches, Annabelle and Janette, as they help their Aunt Helena prepare for her Halloween party. The party will be a contest to determine which witch will be the Halloween Witch, and Aunt Helena’s rivals are determined to make things difficult. We were very excited to learn that our very own Brooke Horn was cast in the role of Annabelle Deville! Thirteen-year-old Brooke will be spending her summer in Dallas, Texas shooting the movie. We’re so proud of you, Brooke! Brooke attended Children’s, Teen and Advanced Acting classes at our school. She has booked at least 60 print jobs and numerous commercials, including Disney’s Cruise Line, Coca-Cola and four for Haverty’s! In spite of all her experience, this feature film promises to be an experience of a lifetime! The movie will be shot mainly in front of a green screen, and the special effects will be done by Hive Studios –the same company that did The Matrix! The Witch Girls Tales movie is due to premiere for Halloween 2006. For more information about Brooke Horn or the Witch Girls Tales, you can visit Brooke’s website at www.brookehorn.citymax.com or the Witch Girls Tales website at www.witchgirlstales.com.

She has also done Industrials for Darden, Toys R Us and Awana Ministries, and her print work credits include Busch Gardens and Disney! Even with her busy schedule, she still has time for her family.

Jean will be bringing her industry expertise and experience into the classroom, teaching in our 4 to 6 year old Children’s Program. In addition to teaching, Jean will be helping out in the office! Welcome, Jean! Words of Wisdom from School President, Debbie Wisner Don’t be afraid to keep trying, even if things get difficult. A person can fail many times, but they aren’t a failure until they give up. The Lisa Maile School presents . . . Accent Modification Training Compton P-ESL Program An Accent Modification Program for Improving Business, Professional, Performance and Social Speaking Skills Taught by Jackie Levine, Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist Do you have a foreign or regional accent? Is it getting in the way of your speaking skills or performance opportunities? If so, this is the program for you! Reducing your accent can benefit everyone -
·
People will understand you more easily.
·
Your self confidence will increase.
·
You will be able to work more efficiently and productively.
·
You will feel more at home in your environment.
·
Your credibility will increase. The Compton Pronouncing English as a Second Language (P-ESL) program begins with a personal analysis of your speech. This analysis reveals exactly how your pronunciation varies from standard American English and identifies specific areas for concentration. The analysis also assists in determining the number of sessions suggested. Jackie then teaches appropriate speech modification techniques, as well as the basic sounds and principles of standard American English. Upon completion of the course, your speech is analyzed again. The results are then compared to the initial analysis so the extent of improvement can be determined. Past comparisons have shown that students who attend all the appropriate sessions and practice diligently can expect to experience at least a 50% change in their accent or dialect. For more information, or to arrange for your personal speech analysis, please call the Lisa Maile School at 407-628-5989! In The News! Graduates Lauren (13) and Matthew (9) Dorman have been very busy lately! Lauren has booked quite a bit of print work (and a promotional video!) for Scholastic Books. Lauren and Matthew can both be seen on television for Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s “Seven Top Rides for 2005,” which will air on both Disney and the Travel Channel. The Dormans have also booked a TV commercial for ESPN, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Wide World of Sports and MGM. And as if that weren’t enough, they were both cast in the feature film “Suns of Heaven,” which will be shot in and around Orlando. Matthew will be playing an abducted boy and Lauren will be playing an alien. Congratulations, both of you! Congrats to Acting Graduate, Desiree Proctor! She took on the big job of writing and producing her own show for the Orlando International Fringe Festival! Good luck, Desiree! We’re proud of you! Graduate Ellen Pyzik gave us some exciting news! She will be hosting the pilot episode for an educational series about engineering for the Boston Museum of Science! She also recently competed in the Rose of Tralee Pageant – and won! As the Boston Rose, Ellen will be heading to Ireland this August to compete in the International Rose of Tralee Festival. Only 28 girls from around the world are chosen to go to Tralee for the weeklong event which includes appearances and press, and ends with the pageant (which will be aired on Irish national television!). Way to go, Ellen! Ellen is due to graduate from Boston College in May, and she then plans to more to LA to pursue a full-time career in acting. Keep us posted!

Upon completing college, Lisa answered an ad for a cosmetic sales position, a perfect fit, and her “summer job” lasted for four years, and her cosmetics career had begun! Lisa has worked as a makeup artist and account executive in the Central Florida area for such companies as Cardeaux Faceworks, Estee Lauder and most recently Cara Cosmetics. A strong background in both the business and creative side of cosmetics gives Lisa a well-rounded edge.
