well you can take acting classes all different kinds like improv classical contemporary comedy shakespear that kind of stuff dont just stick to one type of acting

also i found it very helpful to study how others act on tv or in movies and immitate them and after you realize how they portrayed the character try and change it up and make it your own special way of being that character it helps a lot

also practice crying in front of a mirror like i sometimes stand in my bathroom playing a sad song and working my emotions to help me cry better

good luck!!!

first off, you have to be able to go into character in a matter of seconds and stay in the character no matter whats happening around you!.!.such as laughing or losing focus!. focus is only thinking about what you need to do to fulfill the scene!. ways to help with the process of transitioning to and from your charatcer is to relaxs your body, forget all of your probelms and fears, maybe listen to soothing music, and do breathing techniques to furthur relax your body!. alos it is more complex to memorize your lines when you have thoughts about anything other than the lines and what is going on in the scene at the time of the lines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
