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!
