Hi, I’m Laura Entstall

I’m a St. Louis native and owner and founder of Audition Well.

I work one-on-one with students virtually, preparing them for the college audition process. My goal is to create confident and prepared actors. 

Audition Well students been accepted into BFA Acting, BFA Musical Theatre and BA Theatre programs all over the country.

In addition to coaching, I teach theatre courses at St. Charles Community College, Additionally, I’m a regular contributor for EdTA's Dramatics Magazine. One of my favorite things to do is teaching workshops at Thespian conventions and masterclasses to students and teachers.

I’ve directed and produced numerous shows both professionally and educationally. Before I shifted focus to education, I started out performing. I played Junie in the national AEA tour of Junie B. Jones and St. Louis Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as Helena to name a few credits.

In case you’re wondering where I went to college, since I specialize in college audition prep, I have BA in Musical Theatre from the University of Northern Colorado and an MFA in Directing from Lindenwood University.

I am thrilled that I can share my years of experience and skills with your family to improve your audition skills, acting and acting the song technique and help you find the right school for YOU!

What students and parents have to say…

  • We loved working with Laura. This process was all new for us and it helped knowing what our daughter could expect throughout her senior year of auditions and what was expected of her. I appreciated Audition Well’s timeline and pace (beginning her Junior year) so it wasn’t as overwhelming and last minute. In the end, she had choices and was accepted into her dream school!

  • This was a very involved process. We could not have done it ourselves. We were skeptical at first , but when we met with Laura the first time she put our minds at ease. She helped us navigate our way through the whole process. She was very attentive and was available whenever Nick needed her. We highly recommend her to anyone going through this.

  • THE BEST coach! She is thoughtful, thorough, and honest - a trait you want in a coach. She was instrumental in Maggie’s success last year, helping her (and me!) before, during, and after auditions.New List Item

  • I had no idea where to start when it came to finding the right college for me in the musical theatre industry. I started late in the game and was not prepared for all the hoops I had to jump through. Laura came in and made a world of difference, she knew all the ins and outs of the audition process and I cannot thank her enough. I am so glad I worked with her and owe it to her that I found the school for me.
