I lived down there for several years, and finally escaped to Seattle. If you want any advice/tips/experience stories from one who’s been through the ringer, just hollar. Depending what your goals are, it’s a great place to be. But determining those goals and a plan for getting there is key, lest you get lost in the vast LA landscape where a day becomes a year without warning.

To be fair, I’ve never doubted the validity of that statement you and many others have made to me. I certainly recognized the idealism in my voice when I said I would stick it out here. All the same this decision is just me finally giving in to what I wanted to do ten years ago.

And this my friend is what I have been saying all along. You want to play in the Show, you must go to LA. It is the only way to be taken seriously.
Good luck

I totally understand and empathize. I get to go down to LA for 5 days next month in my new role as SAG Seattle Branch Council President. I have been submitting actor and stage manager resumes to various organizations already. You have to go where the work is until it comes to you.
