first time actor, was encouraged by the movie production CEO to audition for his movie, little to no knowledge about acting. How can I really get into character? it’s a shy traumatized girl.

any advice, naming actual Youtubers, or Contant creator that specialize in this, linking blog posts, free resources, etc, because a lot of the YouTube videos I’ve seen are crappy, really old, or all come from that makayla girl.
