“Beats Me”
It’s kind of a slang phrase that I don’t really hear anymore. “It beats
me” is usually a response to a question when you don’t have the
answer. Like, “how did that candy bar I was saving suddenly
disappear?”. “Beats Me”. For actors, this is not a great response
when working on a script or audition. There is an expectation that you
have the answer and not a “beats me” statement. Truth is, I’ not sure
what the literal translation really means. For actors, there is another
way to understand beats me. Rather than being beat, using a beat
can be quite useful. Beats, on today’s episode of Casting Actors
