Testimonials

Mari Ferguson was a student of mine for many years, and is one of the most talented actors and teachers I have had the good fortune to instruct in my twenty-five year teaching career. She is knowledgeable, insightful, clever and positive. Her grasp of the basics of acting matches her understanding of human nature, which is really what acting is all about. She is patient, responsible, enthusiastic and supporting. And, above all, she is honest. If you are going to start a career, you could start with no better person. If you already have a career and seeking to take it to the next level, I unequivocally recommend you study with her.

Mari Ferguson is one of the top teachers in the Houston area. We have referred hundreds of clients to her for instruction and guidance over the years and have been thrilled with the results!

I have known Mari Ferguson for several years now, as both an actor and an instructor. Mari has always been the consummate professional…talented, hard working and dependable on every level. I have had the pleasure of visiting several of Mari’s children’s classes. I am always astounded at the performance she is able to get from her kids, at all levels of experience. She not only gives them the skills they need to work on camera, but she provides them a safe and caring environment where they can hone their craft and feel confident about their work. She also teaches her children and their parents how to maintain a level of professionalism that is required of the business.

I'm telling you, Mari-Josh's career is all of a sudden sky-rocketing, and I feel like that is, in part, due to his working with you-what a gift you have been to him, and to us.

Mari has been instrumental. Ever since I started training with her, my confidence has skyrocketed as well as my acting career. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you need to hear. She is nurturing, funny, patient, and above all, professional. If you have passion for the craft and work hard, Mari is that final piece of the puzzle you need to succeed. The acting community of Houston is lucky to have Mari Ferguson.

Mari has been part of Adan's success from the start, without her guidance and industry expertise we would have never met others in the industry like Lisa Picotte and our current representation. Having someone so close to home and available has also played a huge part when working with difficult auditions and when we just need an expert to help us polish up for a roll, we feel that all the work that we've gotten has been because of her skillset and availability. Thank you for believing in us and for helping stay on task with classes, updates and when we just need a advice.

Thank you Mari for believing in Kylie, recognizing her natural talent and encouraging her in ways that have made her reach for the stars! Kylie is now a professional working actress in LA. Acting in feature films and on all major networks CBS, NBC, ABC and also kids network Nickelodeon. She is living her dream!

"One of Mari's gifts is to bring the best out of the actor; that's why she produces the most high quality acting audition tapes in Houston. With Mari's experience, no matter what type of audition, she inspires the actor to find their truth in any type of role, whether comedic or dramatic without skipping a beat. If you want to get the best out of your audition, I highly recommend Mari as a top coach in our region. Thanks to Mari, I booked a lead role in a Citybank Lubbock commercial with a short turnaround. Thanks, Mari!"

Thank you so much for everything! I prayed that the Lord would give us someone perfect for Anna who would lead her in the right direction, mentor her and love her the way we do. When we were led to you, I had no idea the fun journey we would be starting. You're such a blessing to us and everything I prayer for. We love you and are so thankful we have you on the journey with us.

As a mother, Mari has been coaching my son, Sage for 10 years. She has been instrumental in his success. He likes to refer to Mari as his secret weapon. Mari is now coaching my daughter, Sabre. As an agent, I have seen the caliber of talent coming from Mari's to audition for us and they are always amazing. Mari is Houston's best acting coach, hands down!
