Sounds like you are still in the scene rather than just your character!. This is usually an indication that a large part of you is still present wondering if the audience likes your or if they are buying it!.

The good news is you are close to a breakthrough and need the guidance and instruction of a professional acting school!. If you are on the west coast I would check out The Beverly Hills Playhouse!. On the east coast the Actors Studio!.

A private coach is not the way to go for you!. You need to be in a safe, supportive environment of working actors!. It sounds to me that you are on the verge of a potentially powerful performance artist!. Only a nurturing environment is going to allow you to get lost in character- then help you climb back out in reality!. Its the safest place to lose control!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, what you have is a start!:):) I know!.!.!.it's hard to make yourself cry with nothing really to cry about! Take a moment and don't try too hard!.

You need to really react off what the other character is saying instead of just remembering then delivering your lines!. If you are really in the moment then you should be able to cry easily!. also, maybe try getting an acting coach!.

I hope this helped you out! Good Luck! <33

If you squeeze your eyes shut it gives you the appearance like you are really really devistated, but you have to crinkle up your mouth and nose and everything,and it helps the tears roll down your eyes!. But think of a real life experience that made you cry!. It helps bring that scene to life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
