In Greek theatre the actors were all amateurs and non professional also they were all men. There isn't much talk of acting styles so far. But from what I can gather they used choral work rather than dramatic because of the amphitheatres being so big they had to make sure everyone could at least hear if they could seen. (Amphitheatres normally had about 15,000 people in at a time)
Masks began to be used in Greek theatre during the 6th century BCE, with their use becoming prominent in the performances of tragedies and comedies. These masks allowed actors to portray multiple characters and express different emotions clearly to large audiences. Made from materials like wood, linen, and clay, they were essential for both visibility and the conveyance of character traits in the open-air amphitheaters of ancient Greece.
Because the greek theatre was a sacred space and the entire building was used to honour Dionysus god of wine, the vine and theatre. The theatre was only used once each year for the festival Dionysia. In the theatre of Athens there were sacrifices made to Dionysus at the alter. Sacrifices were very important to the ancient greeks as it gave them piece of mind that the gods would appreciate them.

The men, as they were the only people allowed to be actors at the time. Intially at the birth of greek theatre there were only two characters, but that grew to three, with the addition of a chorus. The masks were used to help them project their voice to the back of the ampitheatre as well as the masks having expressions on them so they can be seen from the back too
Masks are generally exaggerated because they were once used in Japanese Kabuki theatre. The masks were used in theatre to display the emotions of the characters.
In Greek theatre, costumes were essentially nonexistent. Onstage, actors wore the typical fashions of the day rather than the clothes their characters would wear. Masks enabled the actors to take on the physicality of a character and make it more real for audiences. Masks were also versatile enough that a small company of actors could play a large number of roles without having to do time-consuming costume changes.
alpha, beta, and theta are commonly used for this.
