Learning to cry.

As an actor/actress, your duty is to have an expanded imagination. Develope your imagination, and Ты have enhanced Актёрское искусство skills (making Ты еще apt for auditions than others). Imagine the situation, assuming it's already depressing, ten times worse. Two other people are assasinated, your son has a день to live rather than a week, your father dies in Iraq rather than simply being deployed. Актёрское искусство means convincing yourself that you're in that position. Try Письмо out different, еще dramatic takes in the scene, then practice by placing yourself in that position, and keep it up till Ты get the hang of it. It's all techinally 50% imagination and 50% determination in the realm of acting. Hope that helps :]

Oh my gosh im the exact same way! I had to play the nurse in romeo and juliet last год and couldnt get myself to cry for the life of me! :( Its very frustrating, i know the way that Ты feel!

I don't cry easily. Sometimes bright lights make my ears tear up (rarely thought) but that's it.
I've never actually had to cry, but my Совет is to think of humanity catastrophes. Exagerate the situation. You're getting dumped, your mom is kicking Ты out of your house (example). If ntohing works, cover your eyes and sob (its not the best solution thought)(make sure this is okay with your director BEFORE)

Well i ususally think of comething really sad, but someone the Hollywood actors put drops in thier eyes before a scene where they have to cry. или Ты can think of the situation your character is in and TA DA!!! TEARS! Well..thats what i do.. hope i was of some help :]

Whether или not Ты need legitimate tears depends on the kind of Актёрское искусство you're setting out to do. If Ты want to be a stage actor, getting real tears isn't quite as important as conveying the emotion that you're trying to get across. Ты want to focus еще on accurately representing that emotion than trying to actually cry. Ты don't want the performance to suffer because Ты weren't focused on the real acting. If Ты want to to screen Актёрское искусство though, you'd probably want real tears for that. I can't really give Ты very good Совет on producing tears at will (I can't really do it myself) but what I can tell Ты is just do your best to really feel what the character is feeling and deliver the lines and the actions with the appropriate emotion... hopefully the tears will come on their own that way!

I had this same proublem for a play.I was so bad at first. but then i just let my self free.and i could cry.

im a voice actress and a normal actress crying I usually just practice in a mirror and do a few little sounds.

What I do is think of death, of my Избранное Знаменитости who died, and I listen to, или play in my head sad songs. Some ones that make me cry are No-One But Ты by Queen, Just A Dream by Carrie Underwood and Эй, Jude by The Beatles.
Also, Ты can think of why your character cries in the play. Step into your characters shoes, pretend Ты are your character and all this is happening to you.
After the performance, listen to happy Музыка so Ты feel better!
