Non-actor here with a vague question about percent of people you think can be taught to act (let's use a convincing cry as the metric).

Sight Reading

I’ve always been amazed by actors who are able to pick up a script/sides and cold read a scene for the first time. These actors don’t make any preconceived choices, have done any research on characters, or even think about what they’re saying, but the...
