Career question: I’m 23 and moved to LA to pursue acting. I took a step back recently, but since I started submitting again, I’ve been receiving several auditions and have had a couple of callbacks.

It is said that acting is reacting. It is also said that the camera can read every twitch, every eye movement, every tiny quirk to convey to the audience what a character is thinking. It is the actor's job to imbue their performance with these subtleties to create a layered, nuanced performance.But what happens when…
