Okay so I want to become an actress! Nothing famous or with money i just like to pretend im somebody else for a while and its fun too! But i cant do emotional things they just turn out blank. How can I cry hard just for a play?

Carry a piece of onion and rub it on your eye.

My theory is that if you are trying to fake cry, it will look fake. While things such as onions and eye drops might create tears, it won't actually be crying.
If you are serious about doing your best as an actress, then concentrate on the emotion rather than the actual act of crying.
If you are truly in the moment and feeling the emotions of your character, the tears may actually come all on their own. It works for me!

think of something really sad,....use artificial tears or a squirt gun it barley hurts but it'll make u produce more tears...watch dramatic movies that have intence emotional scenes and analize it, practice in a mirrior until u can mimic it or just do a good cryin scene then practice on ppl and ask them what they thought if it was bad why if it was good why and what would make it better,onions don't work for me but u could try and i also herd that pepper will irritate ur sinuses enough to cry and there are certain places on ur face that can triger a lil pain nothing intence and it will bring tears to ur eyes also put urself in the shoes of the actors in the sad movies and don't just practice sad senes practice passionate /happy/angry /really intence emotions it will help

Think about the person, pet or whatever you love MOST and imagine losing it totally in an instant.

try thinking of something that makes you real sad and it should make you cry..or a bad sad memory of a loved one that has passed on to the better world..

Cover you mouth with your hand(s) and laugh hysterically.
Try it in the mirror...
