Question: How would i CRY!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
Okay, so!. I have a drama play coming up on wednesday!. Its not on a stage, its in a room, in front of my whole class, no curtains or anything!.!.!. lol
So my character has to cry in some scenes like wen her two bffs die at different gtimes, nd she is easily scared off!.!.!.

I need to know how to cry all of a sudden!. i dont hve any time to eat jalapenos (or however theyre spelt), or balm, or onions!. i just need to cry ON THE SPOT!. and !.!. im not sure how to do that :S
like maybe i shoudl try to put myself in her shoes and how it feels when my bff actually dies!. :SWww@QuestionHome@Com

You know, that's what I would do!. Just think about how you would actually feel if that happened!. If you didn't cry actual tears it would probably be okay!.!.!. just look genuinely sad!. I have to cry on stage for our school musical- Les Mis, and I have to cry when my dad dies at the end!.

all you have to do is really feel the character!. try to vizualize what she is feeling and express those emotions to the audience!. DO NOT make it over-dramatic, for this will look very strange and exaggerated!. Imagine something sad happening and just try to find a recording of somebody crying, latwer go to the mirror and try to mimic the mouth and arm movements!.!.!.that is the key to the perfect crying scene!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there's method acting and you can think of sad things, whatever gets you the most!. i find it easiest to just live in the moment and cry because the character needs to cry!. try a few different things and see what works!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
