<prompt> Human: Hi!A little about me. Im a European who ended up in LA and have finally worked up the confidence to pursue my long time goal of acting. Ive worked as a freelance copy and fiction writer for years and have been published and have a few hundred in savings. My question is, what kind of work in SoCal should I be applying for that will hopefully be somewhat lucrative but will allow me to get to auditions and things while I get this acting thing figured out?And help from locals especially would be really appreciated.  <response>: You can join the tens of thousands of other aspiring actors waiting tables, tending bar, and working in coffee shops. You might even find roommates that way, because you will certainly need them as CA is expensive in general and LAOC are expensive in particular.
