Is there a name (or genre) of acting for someone like Nic Cage

Obviously, he's an actor. But not in the same way as Ian McKellen or Helen Miren so to speak. Is there a name for his type of performance? Or is it more people's perception of him that is important? Kind of like how Keanu Reeves is so associated with memes...

How do actors without top agents or management sign onto big roles in big projects (that eventually gets them noticed to the rest of hollywood and the world)?

I read a lot of biographies of the timeline of actor’s careers and I find that a lot of actors/actresses have done minor roles in shows until finally scoring a huge role in cinema or television. I’m just curious how actors gain this level of exposure a few...

Rounding out my weak areas

Hello everybody. In general, I consider myself to be a fine actor for a beginner. Not great, but not bad. I know my weak areas. I don’t know how to improve them, though. There aren’t many classes around me, and the ones available tend to be a waste of time...

As a beginner actor, if I don't have materials for my demo reel yet, can I use self tapes and class tapes?

I've heard from some coaches in my community that using self tapes from previous auditions or tapes done during class is good to show casting if you have not been on many shows or productions yet. Is this a viable option for beginners?

L.A actors, any acting or commercial classes meeting in person yet?

Just wondering if anyone has found any classes that are meeting in person. Online zoom classes sort of stink. Thanks and let me know!

AMAW seems to set actors up for failure.

The idea of the class involves NOT rehearsing, nor completely memorizing your lines so that you can live in the moment without thinking. This seems to go against what every training seems to push. It’s my belief that a great performance comes from a memorized...

Super emotional scenes

How the hell do you do super heavy emotional scenes. I don’t have to do one in a play or anything at the moment but I’m going to have to eventually. When I’m watching actors crying hard in scenes (for example madelyn Cline in that scene in outer banks or...

Is it difficult to act if you're not trained?

I've been going to therapy and meditating a lot and connecting more with my emotions. I've become so much more open with my vulnerability that I find it almost easy to access different emotional states. For example for an emotional scene I don't think it...
