Hi, Makayla! I look up to you so much! I'm 15 and just getting into screen acting. Is that too old to start? I have watched all your videos and was so excited when I saw your new videos! I have been looking for an actually helpful video on how to cry on cue, so thanks so much for all the tips and work you put into this!

Not bad acting-wise but I felt uninformed about what was happening. And your right about the mama thing. It was too much of a background thing. And not so much like she was trying to get her attention like I think she was.

She did good. I would say that something she can improve on is for when she's saying "Momma" multiple times, she can try and make each of those "Mommas" different in the way she says it. Just to add more coloring. Other than that it was pretty good.

I am 10 years old and I have a huge passion for acting. I have been in 8 performances in my school and have been the lead character 2 times. My family has always cheered me on to become a actor when I am older. This video helped me a lot. Thanks for this! Edit: Eek thank you guys so much for all the likes and good replies! :D Another edit: my birthday is May 27th so I will be eleven then :) thanks so much for all the support! Love you all! ❤️

To preface: I'm not an actor at all, i just like practicing these kinds of things because it's fun to do in my freetime :). For me, it's really difficult to cry, but I found that learning to control your facial expressions while yawning with my mouth closed, helps out a lot. Works best for characters that cry out of anger since the nostrils will flare.

Another way is to not blink until you feel tears coming out, and then start scrunching up your face and breath heavily(like a person normally does when they cry) and you can get this teary effect and you can also try to think of some emotional stuff(for me it’s anime death scenes lol) to get tears to drip down your faces.

Remember me when you get famous😸😼

To anyone who is struggling on acting or how to fake cry, let me tell you this. i'm no actor, in fact i'm just 14. but i can say practice truly does make perfect. I'm in a band, and when you're part of a band you have to learn stage presence, posture, and make sure to always smile. never look awkward. Now I've learned this over the years since I've always been quite musical and I've gotten the hang of being very confident on stage. And a good way i did that was standing in the middle of my room my back facing the mirror as i started my song. when i got to the middle of it i would turn around and finish the song, observe my expressions and see ways i could get better. And it worked i focused and learned over time to lose my RBF face on stage. Same with acting, when acting it can be difficult since you cant see what your doing with your face, you never know if your doing too much or maybe not enough. But when looking at a reflection and studying your face, taking time out of your day to have a conversation with yourself. creating monologue or re-sighting lines from a movie, tv show or favorite character. know that, that is practice. I've always loved the filming/music industry and i''ve been in many plays as well, i talk to myself quit a lot too which helps me put myself in my characters shoes so don't be shy to daydream as well, it expresses creativity. I can now cry on command. it takes a minute or two but it took nearly 2 years of practice. It wont happen immediately. if it does great, if it doesn't that's just a sign to keep trying! :) I hope this helped!

Another way to cry on command is, keeping your eyes open for a few seconds, and it’s okay to blink once in a while as your doing it, it’ll still work, and also give your tears a chance to drip down your face! Hope this helps!

A method that has really worked for me is to just relax the muscles in my face, it also feels more natural that way. Look at a certain spot, a certain spot in my room, or even looking into someone’s eyes. Just staring for a bit and my eyes tear up, then you can start really living into the characters emotions and tears will drop eventually

I'm not an actor and have no idea why I'm watching this but I am a comedian and storyteller naturally, it's just how I live my life. Part of building a humorous character often requires that I do very obviously fake crying, but sometimes what's really weird is it makes me actually start crying for no reason. It's really embarrassing because once I start crying it's hard to stop so I was trying to look a certain kind of odd and just ended up being plain weird. Yayyyyyyy

I love this vid and paint brush!!!

Watching your video I think I realized my own style of having the tears to come out, although it's not really overflowing but it's there. Building up the dialogue going to that scene made me feel the emotions. I tried doing a monologue where I talked about a scenario first that led to the sad moment and baam, I could feel my body being sad and the tears welling in my eyes. Although I have to make a crying face because it's usually how I cry, I can see the tears forming and feeling the emotions. I just have to make them fall the next time though haha. Thank you so much!!!!

I looove the monologue choice from the submission. An incredibly delicate moment from the show. The stage manager's line after Emily's monologue is crazy.

With the help of number 3 I cried rivers over someone who I've never actually met... Can't say it felt good lol but it worked so I'm really glad. I've been trying to learn how to cry on cue for like 3 years and had no result even though I'm really emotional and I can cry alot cos of the smallest a little bit wholsesome/sad moment in the movie/book/comic that lasted for 2-3 seconds but yet crying on cue was aleays hard for me. I tried method 4 before but also tried to awake the emotion of sadness inside of me and all it did is make me terribly sad without a single tear being dropped. You're amazing! Totally earned a sunscription(I just did it :p).

Love the monologue submissions. This one had some good moments like the sigh as you mentioned. But in addition to the dog, I found her shadow to be just has distracting. This can be easily fixed by repositioning the light to reduce it. It’s ok if it shows a little but this is quite large.

Another method I would also recommend is not blinking. If you don't blink then water comes from your eyes which makes it burn. It wont affect you a ton because it will be pretty short. (Blink if needed) and do it multiple times until you see progress. Hoped this helped!

Thank you so much for the great tips on hot to cry on cue! Thanks for being such an inspiring and an amazing actress to look up to! For the monologue submission, I think Maria did a great job, though I found the background noises a bit distracting too, plus her shadow. Overall, I think she did a wonderful job.
