Hannah,
Thanks for writing. The best source for casting calls in Los Angeles is an online service called The Breakdown Service. Checkout their website at www.breakdownservice.com.
Another way to learn about casting calls is through one's agent. Agents tend to know who's casting what and if they believe one of their client's is right for a role, they will submit their headshot and resume in the hope of obtaining them an audition.
Finally, one can always check Backstage West newspaper as many productions list their auditions in this trade paper.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
