Answer 1

Think of dead puppies.

Answer 2

If you are really listening to what is being said or what you are saying then the tears will come. You have to become the character and be in the moment. Remember you are portraying a character and in order to do that you have to be able to emotionally relate to that character on some level.

We all cry. Cry if we are mad, sad etc...

What is that character feeling when she cries? The biggest part of acting is reacting. You have to listen not just spout off you lines when you are given your cue line. If you really start listening to what your fellow actors lines are and listen to what you are saying then you really will have no problem crying. Don't force it either. Sometimes fighting back the tears is more than actually crying.

Answer 3

a lot of times if you want to make yourself cry, there is a reason for this. Meaning, your character wants to cry. Think about what the character is going through, and then put yourself in their shoes. Most of the time if you have a good imagination, or can relate that to something in your life, you will start to cry. Just some thoughts.

Answer 4

I just think about something that's really sad to me. And the great thing with stage acting is you don't actually need to cry. Fake it till you make it, as my school says. Fake sobs are really convincing. Try sad memories or "what if's".
And sometimes the part of the show that you're in is enough to cry. Sometimes I connect so much with my character, I portray my emotions through them.

Answer 5

i think that the best way to make yourself cry is by staring straight ahead without blinking. Although your eyes might start to become irritated to the air in the atmosphere, try not to blink, because the dirt in the air causes the irritation in your eyes, which makes your eyes start to water. It's not so much as tears, but your eyes do start to water.

Answer 6

breathe out and in kinds fast through ur nose and trying to yawn that will prob get it started then think of something really sad like someone dying or stare with eyes wide open try not to make it noticeable

Answer 7

for some reason i can make myself cry really easily.
i can start crying thinking of someone dying, but normally when in a play i get myself to cry because of the scene im in. i dont know, i guess i just get really into it.
so you can just learn to reallyy get into the scene and if you want think of something that you really love, and it can make you cry hopefully.

GOOD LUCK :)

Answer 8

Well in show business if you can't make yourself cry they may put water drops in your eyes and then it will look like you are crying...or think of sometime that made you really sad.

Answer 9

if you know how to act and your character is supposed to cry you will cry. you don't have to think of dead puppies or onions or anuything else, you have to react to the scene the way the character reacts to it, then if the character is supposed to cry, you will cry. That is acting!
