Answer 1

That's like asking "any tips on flying a Boeing 747?", or "any tips on performing open heart surgery?"

!!!!!!!!

Just too vague of a question.

But I have a funny story for you:
__________________________________

Sir Laurence Olivier played the villian in the thriller
Marathon Man and was teamed up with Dustin Hoffman.

In a particularly gruesome scene, Olivier (playing a
Nazi) tortured Hoffman by going at his teeth with
dentist's tools. The scene called for Hoffman to be
exhausted and sweaty.

Hoffman, famous for his method acting, went several
days without bathing or very much sleep. When he
came to the set in this condition Olivier said, "Dear
boy, you look awful. Why don't you try acting?"

Caroline,

if you are really serious about becoming an actress, you will start going to class and get your acting tips from your teacher and from watching other actors in your class. Even if we give you tips here, how will you put them into practice? Who will tell you if you are doing well and if you applying the tips you receive in the right way?

I have created a 36-page ebooklet that will give you a lot of intormation as to what you need to do to get started. Just go to http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/acs-blog.html , sign in on the right side of the page and you can download it for free. It's called: What It Takes To Become An Actor.

As you will see, the number one thing you should be thinking about is getting into a good class with a good teacher.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Nothing to it. If you are doing what an actor is supposed to be doing when he or she acts--responding to stimuli in an imaginary environment in a creative and dynamic manner that is true to the character and his/her environment so as to communicate ideas and emotions to an audience--you will not be able to help cry if the character is moved to tears. Some call it "being in character" or "acting in the moment" but I call it "acting" which means you are the character and you do what the character is stimulated to do by the situation and actions of the other characters.
