Words can not describe the phenomenal growth and rewarding experience I've had working with Mardis. 
I wanted to perform better in my pageants, especially during the interview portion of the competition. The very first pageant I competed in was Miss Maryland USA 2017. I did not place but I had such an amazing experience that I wanted to continue competing in pageants. I found Mardis through another contestants profile and did my research. He spoke with me extensively about my experience and why I wanted to continue with pageants. 
I took note of his offer but did not follow through with this great asset. Months later, without any pageant prep or coaching, I won the state title of Maryland Miss 2017 under the Princess America Pageant System. This was a big deal to me because Adrianna David (Miss Maryland USA 2017) and Christina Denny (Miss Maryland 2013 and Miss Maryland USA 2016) were previous winners of the same title. Adrianna David was Maryland Miss 2016 and Christina Denny was Maryland Miss 2015 in the Princess America system and both placed in the semi-finals at nationals.  ​The pressure was on to see if I could continue the trend.
 I immediately knew after my crowning I needed to get to work.I needed an overall mentor and coach that could help me build emotionally and mentally. I didn't start working with Mardis until after I received my results from the Miss Teen Maryland United States pageant where I placed first runner up. I discovered that the interview portion was my weakest phase of competition. After reflecting on my scores, I immediately called Mardis. His record with my friend Dominique Davis (Miss Maryland USA 2017 non-semifinalist Evening gown winner ) and Terri Baumann (Miss Maryland USA 2017 non-semifinalist Interview winner) could no longer be ignored. 
I knew I was in the right hands. Mardis took me under his wing and not only helped with prepping me for the three phases of competition but also helped with building my confidence. With his creative ways of having his clients think on their feet in any environment definitely transferred well on the stage! Every detail he engrained into my habits in practice showed on stage. ​​My goal was to make top ten at the Princess America Nationals. With Mardis on my team, I took home 2nd runner up. The best gift you can give yourself is someone who genuinely cares about your success. The best gift you can give yourself is Mardis. ​

My journey with Mardis was one that I appreciate so much! I believe it takes a village to raise a child and that is no different when preparing for a pageant. Mardis’ style of coaching is one I never heard of and that is the reason I decided to work with him. He is very hands on, engaging and I felt connected the entire time leading up to and during pageant weekend. One of my favorites was receiving crown mail! It was either a text or voice message from Mardis, going over what we worked on in practice or something he may have thought about after a Saturday session.
It made me feel important and I knew he was invested in working with me to become a better me. Our one on one sessions were priceless. We went through interview, walk patterns, wardrobe and production forms. Mardis was always very flexible and that made it easy to fit pageant prep into my busy schedule. Each time we met we focused on improving from the time before. He pulled from my strengths and noticed things about me that I didn’t even notice myself. One of his approaches to coaching by working on the mechanics, help you in other areas of life; win, win! Thank you, Mardis, so much for believing in me!

To anyone thinking about working with Mardis Hall-- DO IT! 
He knows what he's talking about. He has experience judging for many various pageants, and his wife has done pageantry as well. 


When Mardis works with you, you get his full attention. When I did Miss Illinois USA, he was there to facetime me when I needed to shop for a last minute interview dress, as well as all throughout the pageant. He was very helpful and gave me many tips! His encouragement helped me believe in what I was capable of.

 Not only that, but he realized that I had been highly critical of myself- something that I did not notice. Once I realized this and fixed it, my overall performance and confidence on stage totally changed. Mardis is a very supportive, caring, and genuine individual. You will feel motivated and feel supported when working with him! ​

What he helped me with: 
Interview- Once they released the judges, he helped me understand what the best things would be to reveal about myself to each individual judge. I learned that an interview doesn't have to be scary, but a conversation. 
Interview outfit- Mardis knew exactly what I needed to get and was very helpful with every single detail of my outfit. He knows what he's talking about! 
Opening- Mardis helped me with my voice inflections and how to enunciate every syllable of my name. It was very helpful! 
Walk- When competing, he watched me compete and took recordings of it so I could look back on what I needed to fix. This was very helpful! He had very interesting and helpful commentary for me afterwards. 
There are many things he could help with, but that is what he helped me on personally. I loved working with him and look forward to it in the future!

"Working with Mardis Hall has been a wonderful! His previous experiences as a pageant judge allows him to give you honest, fair feedback catered specifically to your level. Thanks to his training, I was groomed from a rookie to a title holding pageant queen. He not only wants to see you win, but wants to see your personal growth that naturally happens when you become apart of a pageant. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach. "

" I've been called many things, but a champ is not one of them. From the time I met Mardis he instilled confidence in me. He assured me that as long as I gave my all, regardless of the outcome, I would be a champion. After only one session, and several phone conversations I knew that Mardis was the coach for me! He was extremely encouraging, professional, and knowledgeable as well. Although this was only my first pageant, I was able to place 2nd runner up in the Ms. Maryland and D.C. Plus America Pageant. 

Thank you Mardis for challenging my potential! "

(Miss America preliminary)
My name is Jashonna Thomas and I have been working with Mardis for about a year now. I will say that working with him has been nothing but an honor. He has picked me apart from swimsuit to interview and taught me how to carry myself on stage so that my confidence shows through the way that I move and also in my everyday endeavors. I began working with Mardis in November of 2014 and with just a short period of time to prepare for the Miss Hockessin pageant, I am proud to say I place first runner up in the Miss Hockessin Organization. I am now pushing toward a huge pageant and once again, Mardis is right by my side. He is a great coach, mentor and friend and I would recommend him to ANY pageant queen!

"Mr. Mardis Hall has not only been a pageant coach he has served as a friend, mentor and my number one support system. Not only have I gained valuable experience within the field of pageantry, I've learned a lot about myself as a role model and young woman. With Mardis I've had a full year of growing and becoming a better person physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. My confidence was in critical need of reconstruction when we first began our sessions. I am happy to say with his words of wisdom, undying support, dedication to seeing me succeed, constant pushing, and believing in me  I have been able to look within myself and emerge proudly with my head held high. I couldn't recommend a better coach!"

Non-Finalist Interview Award 2014  
Miss DE Outstanding Teen 2014
I had the honor and pleasure to work on my interviewing skills with Mr. Mardis Hall to prepare for the Miss Delaware Outstanding Teen Pageant (MDOT). Prior to our sessions I did not have a lot of experience with pageant interviews. Specifically, I lacked confidence and struggled with creatively answering questions. Mardis was able to help me think outside the box during mock interviews. In addition, he helped me become more comfortable speaking about myself and highlighting my strengths. During my MDOT interview I felt prepared and was able to execute all of the skills that I acquired in my sessions. After the competition, I was extremely proud to win the non-finalist interview award. This was a huge accomplishment especially because I needed growth in this area prior to working with him. I would like to thank Mr. Mardis for all of his guidance and feedback. I look forward to working with him in the near future.
