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!

An actor should do any range of emotions. They should be able to do whatever the part is wanting of them.

If you'd please post what you were getting at? I dont want this to turn into a spam topic. =X
