I'm serious about acting, but there is something I'm really unsure of. I can't cry without yawning, squirting water directly at my eyes, etc.
Is it manditory to be able to cry? I've been trying to get bad experinces as a background - but I have nothing horrible. Is there another way I could make myself cry? I know I have what it takes to act, but crying isn't my expertise. Advise please! EDIT - I CAN do all the emotions EXCEPT for crying! I have no horrible experinces that could lead me to making myself cry. It just isn't my expertise. Should I stop trying to act ONLY because I can't cry? Or should I keep going?? This isn't a spam topic! I'm asking for advice. Sheesh! |

umm... i don't think you will be able to get awards or anything if you don't show strong emotions, but maybe you can chose to do movies that have no crying... but sometimes you don't have a choice. acting gigs are probably hard to come by, especially leading roles
but to be a really good actor i think you might have to. ![]() |
