When you are new to Los Angeles it will seem a daunting, huge city with no center.  It is important to establish a life and normalcy and find a way to get information about the business.  One of the greatest information sources you will have will the acting/scene study class you take.  Get into one as quickly as possible and through those contacts you will discover a lot about what you need to know about Los Angeles and your niche in the business.  There will be people who have gone through what you are and will be happy to help you in your career.  A lot of the time they will be your friends and career-support the rest of your life.  It is important to know that you are NOT in competition with anyone.  Share your leads and knowledge with your friends – help them get a career, and they will help you.If you know someone in Los Angeles it would be helpful for you to come out for a visit and see if you like it or can deal with it before you commit to moving here for a career. It will be close to impossible to get representation if you are not committed to staying here  (why should anyone invest time in someone who can leave at any moment?) so a visit is a good idea, if you have the resources.
Bottom Line: Get in touch with like-minded people as quickly as possible.  Acting class is a great way (only one of many) to do that.
