Emily or Emmy Mae Speakman (she/they) is an aspiring actor, singer, and dancer looking to take on the world one day at a time. A recent graduate of Western Carolina University’s (Cullowhee, NC) BFA Musical Theatre program, she is actively pursuing creative opportunities. While in undergrad, she followed in their aspirations of being a well-rounded performer and person by double majoring in English Literature and minoring in both Leadership and Dance. In August 2025, she began her Graduate Studies at West Chester University (West Chester, PA) to receive her MA in English Literature.

Prioritizing kindness and passion for all that they approach, Emmy wants to find love in her daily life by always following in what they love the most. To them, to live truly authentically and genuinely is to live a life of speaking truthfully, being themself unapologetically, and embracing emotions through all activities.

When she isn’t training in a rehearsal space or performing, Emmy Mae spends her time writing poetry and book reviews, drinking iced chai, or performing musicals by herself. She also loves spending time outdoors, trips to New York, and is a proud mother to her cat, Patroclus.

She is heavily influenced and inspired by artists like Sammy Rae, Robyn Hurder, and Emma Pittman. However, her biggest role models are her parents. She would like to thank her close friends for always rooting for her, her family for their endless support, and all of her teachers for their loving encouragement.
