Family Success!

Acting and Advanced teen graduate Cameron Uranick has been very successful in the acting industry. He has booked commercials for Beall’s, Disney, Universal & his most recent Grad Bash.  

He landed an exciting role for Discovery Kids called Endurance 5, High Sierra's.  This is a teen reality show that will test ones mental and physical strength! Although we can’t tell you how long Cameron lasted throughout the 14 week series, we get the hunch that he did fairly well considering this 14 year old is a well rounded athlete. He plays sports at Lake Highland Prep in football, soccer and track.  Not only is Cameron athletic he is also a 4.0 student with incredible good looks! Cameron says his favorite thing about the industry is having fun and being on the set! Tune in this September to see just how far he really made it!

 

Cameron isn’t the only Uranick busy in the industry. Brothers Logan, 10, and Clayton, 6, have also graduated from our Children’s Acting Program.  Logan has done his fair share in the industry booking print work for scholastic books and commercials for Disney’s Board Walk and Animal Kingdom. Clayton has landed jobs for MGM’s Star Wars, Disney, Universal & Margaritaville. 

Now that’s what we call Family Success!!

 

 

 

 

SPOTLIGHT!

"THE ETTES” are coming to town!  Orlando native and Lisa Maile grad Lindsay "Coco" Hames is coming home to celebrate the debut album release from her band, THE ETTES!  They will be playing an in-store show at Park Ave Cds (www.parkavecds.com) on Thursday, October 12 at 7:30pm sharp!  Lindsay and THE ETTES will be playing songs from their forthcoming album, released September 12 on Sympathy for the Record Industry, a label which launched the careers of such artists as the Von Bondies and the White Stripes.  THE ETTES' debut record "Shake the Dust" will be available at local retailers, and is available now for pre-order on Amazon.com  Or you could pick up a copy at the live in-store performance Thursday, October 12 at Park Ave Cds!  Don't miss this rare opportunity to get up close and personal with THE ETTES!  They will be giving away exclusive promotional merchandise you can only get in person at the show!"

A rock and roll group for rock and roll fans produced by Liam Watson (The White Stripes, The Kills, The Datsuns) that refuse to go unnoticed. They are demanding, they are sexy, they are manipulative, they are raw, and they are called The Ettes. The Ettes debut titled "Shake The Dust" is fused with early punk and beat bands such as The Stooges, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones along with 60's melodic country acts such as Patsy Cline and Nancy Sinatra. Comparisons to such contemporary acts as The Strokes, The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's and Thee Headcoats are not uncommon. With such tracks as "Dead and Gone" that sound as if your speakers have been slit with a razorblade to the hard hitting, spacey, garage rock feel of "Reputation", the impact of The Ettes cannot be denied. Founded in 2004 after moving west from NYC, Coco, Jem and Poni met up in Los Angeles and immediately struck up an explosive musical relationship that did not go unnoticed by the underground scene thanks to radio stations such as KXLU, WFMU and sponsored shows in NYC by KCRW. Eventually the music surfaced from the underground and landed in the office of Indie 103.1, one of L.A.'s premier commercial rock stations. The Ettes have shared the stage with such acts as The Go-Go's, The New York Dolls, and The Muffs. Look for "Shake The Dust" hitting a street corner near you in September 2006 from Sympathy For The Record Industry.
