Wow. I already can cry if I want to, but it takes longer and if I were in a roll I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on both the scene and the things that keep my crying. But this ... the tears came and it felt natural too, like when you feel tears in your throat, before the tears were even out. Thank u so much❣️💙

[@cakecuriousity]

I can't cry on cue, not like they do in movies anyway. I can force myself to cry properly, like how you do when you're really sad.

Listen to sad music before. If you’re performing in a movie try to understand why the character is sad and create a sad backstory in ur head. And yes most times actors do cry on cue

[@FAISALALYAHYA-69]

There's always moments in my life when I get so stressed, aggrieved and feel like I want a relief of my emotions loudly yet but secretly, there's that old picture of me and my passed away dad smiling together. That picture is an instant kryptonite to my mental and it can make me tear in mere seconds.

[@alyvee3197]

Right now I’m like wow she can do it all when it comes to acting! Love you!

Back in drama I was taught about a concept called emotional and sensory memory where you use your own personal memories to show more authentic emotions and the trick in this vid is actually helpful to allow the tears to flow within seconds. Thanks so much.

[@laymansterms1776]

Lolololol comment of the year

[@theriac.]

I walked away from a possible acting career years ago as the affectation, sexism, fakery, vanity and elitism wasn't something I wanted a part of. However, I remember I was able to cry on the spot through sense memory. I agree with the relaxation part but disagree with thinking of the character's emotion because, essentially, it's your emotion. No matter what character you're portraying it's always you. You are opening yourself up with every gram of vulnerability. So, you have to trust yourself and let go without thinking about anything else save for that moment ... before it becomes a memory

[@lettysilva6567]

When i do this my tears just don t fall... what can i do?

[@zayleemartinez2614]

@@criesart9549 I tried that all my tears went away

[@Ashwagur]

Blink a lot, it helps it look more natural of the tear fall, just when it's shooting you need to kinda stop blinking and blink how you blink while crying

Idk but im good acting smh and whenever im doing a role I feel the character and it just starts tearing me up thanks for the good tho for anyone who needs it I mostly just relax and think abt every problem I have like anxiety left out and stuff like that produces natural tear

[@Mnjake96]

Just think of all the mistakes, regrets, and all the people that you loved that didn't truly love you back. I dont go to therapy, so it's all locked away for when I need it.

[@laymansterms1776]

As a fellow actress, former anyway- I think it’s much more powerful to tell an actor to work on their personal emotional intelligence and intimacy. Everyone can empathize with someone who’s had their heart broken, or was counting on someone who let them down- or to shift emotions- to go from sad/crying to happy on camera- just imagine you’re watching an old tape of a friend you loved dearly and freshly lost, and the footage still makes you laugh just like it would if they were watching it with you, but then sets in the reality that you’ll never see them again- from there, I find emotion way to access if I need the character to cry. Focusing on the wall with my eyes open doesn’t allow me all of that depth, but letting my emotions flow immediately into that place of despair of knowing I’ll never have this with my best friend again- there’s no reaching for emotions, it’s about fighting them at that point. But that’s just my method.

[@autotech272]

Oh my god you're/ were an actress...I also wants to be an actor cuz I love acting if you don't mind can you help me in acting...maybe if you're comfortable

[@Cori-ec4uu]

Do any of you guys have those days where you just can't cry so instead you get Really mad and just start screaming and breaking things?....It's perfectly normal.

[@Claire-STARZ]

THANK SO SO MUCH! it used to take me about 5 minutes to cry on cue😂 but now i can produce atleast 5 tears in 4 seconds❤

[@della.is.a.baddie]

This is how I self thought myself! I want to be an actor when I grow up ❤

[@paoloportillo9577]

MASSIVE DISCLAIMER!!! Fellow actor here! Just graduated from drama and film school. I studied a lot of technique and I think it’s needs to be said that this ISNT THE ONLY WAY TO CRY. Every actor has their own process that works for them. Some actors can cry on cue and some cannot. HOWEVER, just because you can or can’t cry on cue doesn’t make you and better or worse actor. This is HER WAY of crying on cue. Also, regardless of what the script says in regards to crying, your goal should never be to cry. Many people have said this but it is more truthful and believable to try not to cry then to let everything out. The restraint and the reason to hold that restraint is in my opinion a lot more interesting then seeing an actor try to cry on command. Going for the TRUTH of the scene is much more interesting then the result (crying just to cry). Break all the legs everyone! 😌✌🏽

[@MissysPinkCactus]

I just think about someone I love dying and how deeply destroyed I’d be. Sometimes I think the worst and I always think to myself “what if he gets into a car accident and passes away? How would I cope?” Then I’ll make myself cry and I know it’s ridiculous. But life is fragile and my husband I love so so much. I don’t even think I could do life without him. I’d spiral into a deep depression that I feel couldn’t be healed. Once we broke up for a whole year and I was so depressed and broken , ugh, it was honestly the most painful heartbreak I’ve ever felt. I never want to feel that ever again
