"Mark" is a regular, not unbounded string.  Try this:

begin
   Add_Record (To_Unbounded_String ("Mark"),
               To_Unbounded_String ("555-555-5555"),
               To_Unbounded_String ("123 main street"));
end;

You may also like:

declare
   function "+" (R : in String) return Unbounded_String
      renames To_Unbounded_String;
begin
   Add_Record (+"Mark", +"555-555-5555", +"123 main street");
end;
