So how do I Cry?

Actors Boot Camp

There are many acting teacher answers to this question ranging from technique oriented solutions like:

sense memory
emotional recall
substitution
contraction
imaginary partner stimulus
psychological gesture
center
atmosphere
imaginary
personalization
to nuts and bolts solutions like abstaining from crying
keeping your eyes opem
mimicking the facial contortions you produce when actually crying
the old onion trick
and of course Our favorite; poking yourself in the eye.

So to sum it up, you can't wait until tears are required of you and then run to the Internet and Google "crying".

Acquire reliable, useful acting tools, learn these tools from experts, and then practice them night and day until they become a part of who you are so that when the time comes you show up like the artist/warrior ready to do battle - through all the confusion of life and show business, acting can become to you the one thing you know profoundly and do exceedingly well.

"Truth is, folks, no acting advice, acting tip, or acting trick will help you when you're in a close-up and your director demands tears.

The tears will come, in my experience, if either you're an actor who cries over ANYTHING, or if you're an actor who has trained rigorously, on a DAILY basis, and developed a receptive, vulnerable, emotionally intelligent instrument along with an outlook on life which includes giving a damn about people and circumstances, either real or imaginary."
