I've heard this too, for years. I once took a 6-session class in voice characters and voice over, but don't remember who did it. The person (who was a VO artist herself) recommended we buy Susan Blu's book Word of Mouth for more info. I see it's now in 3rd edition (though 11 years old).
Susan Blu bio (from the Amazon site):
> Susan Blu is a veteran stage and screen actor who has done hundreds of commercial voice-overs. Recognized as
> one of the foremost voice-over artists and animation directors, her animation credits include
> The Land Before Time, Spider-Man, Curious George, Superman, The Magic School Bus, Stuart Little, and
> hundreds more. She teaches both commercial and animation voice-over in workshops throughout the U.S.
> and Canada.
The link to Amazon will also show similar books about learning and working in VO.
Santa Monica College has a class in the community section that helps you know more about it. It's a few hours (one night) and they give you some copy to read and the class moderator tells you whether you have what it takes or not. This assessment has to do with way you use your voice as much as how your voice sounds. ISTR we were asked to read some ad copy, and maybe to do an animation character voice as well. The class is more of a pitch for you to join this agency's stable for, like, $250. They say they will place you, but I think it's a scam to get money from people like us. However, the $80 or so spent on the class is kind of worth it if you are just getting an idea. They do talk about the business.
Another option is to subscribe to Voices 123 and see what is being requested so you have an idea of the market.
This got my curiosity up so I did a little research. Check this site: https://www.vo2gogo.com
Also, I recommend you see the movie "In A World". It's a fun little indie film by Lake Bell about the inside, behind the scenes, and backstabbing of the VO business.
The landlord sounds incredibly shady from what you've described.
California tenant laws place responsibility on the property management to treat uninhabitable conditions. A cockroach infestation is categorized under uninhabitable conditions - they are a symptom of extremely unsanitary living conditions.
Here are a few links - make sure you read through these and know your rights as a tenant, and DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! Take photos of the cockroaches, maybe capture one and keep it as evidence. It is absolutely the responsibility of the landlord to pay for a PROPER and professional exterminator/fumigation service.
In the meantime, you can get roach baits, especially the ones where there's poisoned food that the cockroaches bring back to the nest and eliminates the nest from the inside. These are really effective:

It's going to be frustrating, but don't let your landlord or shitty property management company take advantage of you as a tenant. Make sure you know your rights and luckily California usually leans in the favor of the tenant. Good luck!
Edit - I think this is your management company: http://www.yelp.com/biz/pacific-real-estate-and-management-inc-los-angeles
Great info, thanks!
I was planing on bringing a tarp shelter for shade (this one from Amazon). We actually plan on arriving at ~3pm to avoid the brutal heat. I don't think we will do any strenuous hikes while there, just some light walks to find good photo locations. We do plan on bringing a large amount of water for each of us. Good idea on the spray bottle and aspirin, would have never thought of that.
How busy should we expect it to be? Are we going to be OK just showing up and taking a spot? We were thinking of Arch rock or Jumbo Rocks, If hidden valley seems like it would be busy.
The stars are why we are going as well, I plan on doing tons of astrophotography while there as the moon will be almost completely new while there and only in the sky for a short period of time.
Maybe we will see you out there! And thanks for the detailed response!
If you ask for GPS, rental car companies will give it to you, but expect them to charge you a ton of money ($5-20 per day). Use a smartphone and save the money. Also find a mount that makes your phone easy to use in any car and is easy to travel with (I like Tetrax).
Also, if for some reason google maps doesn't work out, don't be afraid to go analog.
I just looked it up since I'm not familiar with it. I much prefer the paste type wax than liquid spray. The Car Guys Hybrid Wax description shows it's safe for windows too. A real wax should never be put on windows. If it's safe for windows, then it's not really a good barrier since it can be wiped off too easy and the protection layer is extremely thin.
Try using a real paste wax. I've personally used either Mothers or Meguires paste wax with great results. Stay away from combo pastes (cleaner wax). If your car needs a good cleaning (paint is rough when you touch it), use a clay bar before waxing.
It's worth it to stay in your budget especially when there are easy solutions, get a nice electric / toaster oven like this one and you will be all set. Oh and an electric hot plate too. Also check sites like https://offerup.com/ for people selling used items like this
Uhhh... are you sure you're looking at the right book? I don't recall any of that.
Regardless, the book has a pretty simple premise: If you want to be a professional writer, sit your rear end in a chair and write. The only way to get good enough to find work is to put in the work first.
There, I saved you 11 bucks.
you can try returning that AC unit and getting a standing version: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-LP0814WNR-115-volt-Conditioner/dp/B00JIURCTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425697669&sr=8-1&keywords=AC+unit+standing
It's not permanently installed (which is nice because you can take it when you move) but has a hose that goes to your window, like this: http://image.haier.com/us/products/home-comfort/portable-air-conditioners/W020130524577570305422.png
It comes with the little plastic thing that fits in your open window. It's only a problem if you have casement windows where you have to wind the little lever to open the window like a door. But if you have normal windows that slide open and shut, it's perfect. And your landlord can't be upset because it's not permanently installed.
Mike Davis' City of Quartz and Ecology Of Fear are essential reading, but in addition I highly recommend John Mack Faragher's Eternity Street about the early (and absolutely insane!) history of 19th Century L.A.
Also check out Chip Jacobs & William Kelly's Smogtown - a history about LA's air pollution problems. Great book and an interesting perspective on how the city's culture was affected by it.
Kaya jam - not in West LA but your best bet is probably 99 Ranch; or if you don't want to drive - Amazon?

I got this one for $115 a few years ago and it's been amazing. Honeywell is a good brand and the filters aren't too expensive to replace.
This would optimize routing a bit but to be honest I would leave DTLA out unless you had more time, were staying somewhere closer, and had a bit more of an idea what you wanted to see or do.
I'd also skip the Walk of Fame. It's a dump and you aren't going to enjoy a dirty sidewalk. Go on a walking tour, visit a botanical garden, or find a good hiking trail instead.
I had the same issue with my LL and I bought a few of these standing planter boxes. Good luck! Adams Manufacturing 9303-48-3700 36-Inch Deluxe Garden Planter, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0056QXOA6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_owCqDbFTTBE1B
Do the questionable ones look like this?
A friend of mine just found out a construction site next to her place had put those ones up and they weren't legit, she called somewhere at city hall(?) as well as parking enforcement who said they would send someone to check it out and have them removed if they weren't legit - and they disappeared for her the next day. I'd try calling back Parking Enforcement to try to get someone more competent and/or using the MyLA311 app.
Mine is about 10' off the ground (I actually have it on an outside wall), and it was just a cheap antenna I found at Best Buy several years ago... looks kind of like this:

City of Quartz by Mike Davis is a great historical and sociological look at LA.
