Learning to cry.

Hello, everyone. I was wondering if あなた great set of actors/actresses could lend me a helping hand? :)

I can work up pretty much any emotion for acting: Anger, Happiness, laughter, fear, etc. But the only one I seem to be having trouble with is crying. I'm not one to cry very easily (Heart of stone here, lol) so when it comes to thinking of sad things to get upset...it doesn't work. I was just wondering if anyone has any good tips for crying?

I'm that way too; I cannot get myself to cry! Idk, I try to stare at a really bright light または pinch myself really hard または something, but it only works sometimes :I

芝居 回答

Summer_Leanne said:
As an actor/actress, your duty is to have an expanded imagination. Develope your imagination, and あなた have enhanced 芝居 skills (making あなた もっと見る 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 日 to live rather than a week, your father dies in Iraq rather than simply being deployed. 芝居 means convincing yourself that you're in that position. Try 書く out different, もっと見る dramatic takes in the scene, then practice によって placing yourself in that position, and keep it up till あなた get the hang of it. It's all techinally 50% imagination and 50% determination in the realm of acting. Hope that helps :]

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 アドバイス is to think of humanity catastrophes. Exagerate the situation. You're getting dumped, your mom is kicking あなた 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)

Yeah, I heard about that. Do a scene where they're just about to cry, stop, and put in the drops. Then uo go back to the scene and when you're done, they put it together. It's very handy, it makes me feel good that even some people working on ヒイラギ, ホリー Wood need help. :)

Whether または not あなた need legitimate tears depends on the kind of 芝居 you're setting out to do. If あなた 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. あなた want to focus もっと見る on accurately representing that emotion than trying to actually cry. あなた don't want the performance to suffer because あなた weren't focused on the real acting. If あなた want to to screen 芝居 though, you'd probably want real tears for that. I can't really give あなた very good アドバイス on producing tears at will (I can't really do it myself) but what I can tell あなた 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!

What I do is think of death, of my お気に入り セレブ who died, and I listen to, または play in my head sad songs. Some ones that make me cry are No-One But あなた によって Queen, Just A Dream によって Carrie Underwood and こんにちは Jude によって The Beatles.
Also, あなた can think of why your character cries in the play. Step into your characters shoes, pretend あなた are your character and all this is happening to you.
After the performance, listen to happy 音楽 so あなた feel better!
