Hi! I am finally making the move to LA shortly and before I get there (preferably) I wanted to get a head start and begin submitting to agencies and managers. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can find a good list or where I should start? Thank you so much for any and all input you can provide on this!

sagaftra.org, agentassociation.com, backstage.com, entertainmentcareers.net all have lists. Are you taking any classes? That's a really good place to start. Do you know any fellow actors personally? That, too, is a great place to start. Nothing better than a recommendation from someone you know and trust.

Back in the day, we used to pick up the agency directory books from Samuel French -- but that was back when the Internet wasn't much more than dancing hamsters. They still might be publishing the books, but last time I looked through one the info was pretty outdated. D Marcus has some really good links for agency lists, but you will want to research those to find an agency that's right for you. I would recommend first getting acclimated to living in L.A. before trying to get an agent/manager. Nowadays you can self submit for casting notices on LA Casting and Actors' Access, giving yourself a lot of opportunities to audition and book work. Plus, getting involved with a good class and group will let you network organically too, and you may get some good leads for a good agent/manager that way too.
IMDBpro.com is amazing!
