I see a lot of good actors/actresses out on T.V. I noticed that some of them make crying scenes. How do they really get into the scene.

If I think too much I can make myself cry. Lol. No when i think about stupid things like politics and war and homeless people and things that have happened to me. But if i have to cry on command the tears won't come. I was in Les Mis 3 weeks ago with my stage school and I played Cosette and I had to be very sad because that's when she learns the truth which is basically everything that has happened in the show. And I'd learnt previously that one of my friends is very ill and if they don't find a cure she could die by the end of this year...I cried as soon as she told me that and i thought I could use it for the show but the tears just wouldn't come and I tried but I couldn't.
I feel like a bit of a monster but if i think about my friend for a few minutes I'll end up bursting into tears.
It doesn't mean your a better actor or actress if you can't cry it just about making it look convincing and sometimes crying isn't the best way.

There's various techniques. Some can use the "method", where they tap into an experience that made them sad.
Some can just "turn on the waterworks" by doing something physical, like scrunching up their faces or (what I do) trembling the lower lip.
One way to make tears come is to stop blinking for a long time.

A lot of actors will htink back to hardships in their lives and the tears come. However, some have mastered the gift of being able to cry on command. I mastered that as a child lol...

most of them, right before they do the scene, put eye drops so it is easier for them to cry. others are just naturally good at crying, like me. and like most others just think of the times in their lives where they were really hurt ((emotionally, that is.)) like when they lost some one very close to them, their pet died, and etc.
