"I had a wonderful time working with Mari on my project. She not only brought passion and excitement to her role, but she also showed a level of professionalism that surpassed expectations.Mari took some time to discuss the character with me and get a good feel for the right kind of voice. And she also nailed the pronunciation of some obscure and game specific words.Overall, it was a pleasure to work with her and I would gladly recommend her for whatever project you may have!"

"I was incredibly impressed with Mari's work!I had no notes back to give because it was exactly what I wanted first try. The energy was perfectly matched, emotion on point...it was hard to choose between takes because they were all so good!As someone who struggles a bit with audio mixing and making recordings sound high-quality, she really saved me with her professional-level files.You should expect nothing but high quality from her~"
José Rivas
"Mari is an outstanding voice actor with an impressive range in her vocal performances. She brought the perfect blend of energy and emotion to the lead role in my film, 'Isabell The Demon Tween.'Her professionalism and enthusiasm were evident throughout the entire recording process, and she was always readily available for any necessary revisions. Additionally, Mari's portrayal of the supporting characters showcased her ability to imbue each one with distinct and vivid personalities.I would eagerly collaborate with her again and look forward to involving her in many of my future projects."
