Mary Elizabeth Drake is a professional musical theater actress and voice teacher based in New York City. She is an honor graduate from Oklahoma City University with a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theater where she studied under Larry Keller. She has most recently studied with Mike Maixner with the premier Broadway Matt Farnsworth Vocal Studio. Mary Elizabeth has toured and performed with professional theaters across the United States. Some of her favorite credits include Luisa in The Fantasticks, Philia in A Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and Cosette in Les Miserables.

She is a passionate teacher of students of all levels, from those having their very first lesson to the student who is pursuing a singing career. Specializing in Broadway, Classical and Pop styles, her students learn vocal technique to sing with freedom while confidently expressing their interpretation of the music. She has prepared many students for college auditions in which they have been accepted by their top choice. Her great joy is to share her knowledge of the voice and the business with her students and watch them grow as artists themselves.
