Crying Tips!?

Question

What is a good exercise to practice to help yourself cry when you need to?

Answer 1

poke yourself in the eye......haha j/k  I dont know think of something sad.

Answer 2

The Meisner technique teaches to give your character a storyline... a backstory. Instead of depressing yourself (in which it may take 30 minutes to truly get sad enough to cry) by thinking of something sad like a death of a family member or pet, establish what has happened in your character's life to lead them to that point...

If you can really act you should be able to 'become' the character, in that you have lived their whole life-- therefore give them a story so the tears may come more easily.

I've never been challenged to do this, so I wish you the best... Hey, if you find a great way let me know! :)

Answer 3

Chop onions

Answer 4

What i do is keep my eyes open for the next two minutes before you actually need to cry, and then your eyes will be burning to the point that tears are rolling down your eyes, if you need to think of something sad to give you a extra push, then feel free!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Answer 5

ooh! ooh!!!! im REALLY good at this!!! Okay- start by being very quiet. Tell everyone not to talk  to you and to leave you alone. then just CONCENTRATE on something very sad- the thought of being alone usually worked for me, or anything that has the ability to depress you. JUst THINK on it, and if the thought is strong enough, theyll come. DONT BLINK!!!! good luuck!

Answer 6

Think of something really, really, really, sad. Like your family dying or everyone you know leaving you, just something that makes your eyes begin to burn in the back. Then keep inflating that sad thought until you just spill over with teas. OR if that doesn't work, you can get a tear inducer. Just type that in on google and go to the theatrical sites. Not the pharmacy sites.

have a nice time crying!

Answer 7

Think of Heath Ledger :/

or when your in character, and you feel it, you can actually cry, like I do, you have to be SKILLED.
