Method 2 of 3: Think about things that make you want to cry

1. 

   Think about when you felt really emotional. If there was a time when you needed to cry, recalling a sad moment can put you in the mood to cry. For example, you might recall the passing of a loved one or a painful breakup to find your feelings.
   • Other emotional factors can include things like: you lost something so valuable, ran into trouble with your parents, or lost something that you worked so hard to achieve. .

2. 

   Imagine you are weak and have nowhere to hold your back. Many people have a fear that they are not as strong as they think they are. Visualizing that you are small and weak can bring out a sense of vulnerability that makes you truly shed tears.
   • Once you touch the emotion, let the feeling of weakness flow into tears of fear.
   • For example, a common exercise in drama classes is to imagine yourself as an abandoned child.

3. 

   Visualize sadness with your imagination. Sometimes, flashbacks of past sad experiences can lead to real feelings that are difficult to overcome. In this case, try to imagine something dramatic could happen instead of thinking about personal events.
   • For example, think about puppies that have been left on the roadside. You want to save everything, but you can only hold one child. When you hold the puppy you have to save in your arms, look back at the remaining puppies you cannot hold.

4. 

   Tears of joy if you don't want to feel sad. Imagine tears of happiness filling your eyes, like when you were given a meaningful gift by someone, like the moment a veteran is reunited with his family, or when someone else is adversity conquered.
   • As long as you don't smile, no one will know whether you are crying from happiness or sadness.

Method 3 of 3: Improve crying techniques

1. 

   Make a real crying face. This technique involves closing your eyes and frowning slightly - just imagine yourself feeling emotional by recalling the expression on which you were crying. If you don't know what your face was like, look in the mirror, pretend you're crying, and notice how your facial muscles feel.
   • Lower the corners of the lips a little.
   • Try to raise the inner corners of your brow slightly up.
   • Wrinkled his chin like someone was about to burst into tears. This facial expression can look artificial if you overdo it, so try to be a little subtle.

2. 

   Focus on your breathing. Breathing is the part of acting that makes people believe you're emotional. Start sobbing by crying out loud, while taking deep breaths. Breathe in repeatedly as if you are going into a quick breath. Hiccup a bit sometimes to sound real.
   • If no one sees, run in the spot for a few minutes to appear short of breath. It also makes your skin look the usual smudge when people cry.

3. 

   Bow your head or cover your face for a more realistic look. Once you have created tears, played a crying face and started breathing quickly, you can add a few more expressions such as hiding your face in your hands, lowering your head on the table or bowing your head so it looks sad. .
   • You can also bite your lip as if you're doing your best to stop the flow of tears.
   • Look away, try to pretend you didn't cry for your real purpose!

4. 

   Add moans to sound like crying. The vocal cords will stretch when you cry. This will result in a hoarse sound or groan if you try to speak while crying. Try to act as if you're choking on words and inhale for a long time to create more effect.
   • This is fundamentally like using your mind to overwhelm your body, and the more you show it out, the more your body will obey the will to produce the desired effects.

5. 

   Get rid of what's going on around you. If you want to cry the way you want to cry, you need to relax, take a breath, and focus on the reason you are crying. By letting go of distractions, you can dig deeper into the emotions you are expressing.

6. 

   Hidden face in and palm laugh if you don't feel sad. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if someone is smiling or crying if they do it the right way. While covering your face, shake your shoulders and try to make your eyes a little red by rubbing your eyes against your hands and not smiling when you remove your hands from your face.
   • This works best when you're acting on stage and the audience isn't sitting close enough to see your tears or seeing every detail of your face.
   • Make sure there is no sound, or you will be exposed as laughing! If you ever burst into laughter, immediately follow up with a cry like a sob or sob, but don't exaggerate.
