  • If you have to cry on cue or doing a scene in a drama class, I doubt you'd be able to hold your eyes open until you cry, so here's some help for crying on cue in a scene, (it works for me every time) it's simple: (blink normally) Make the face you normally make while crying/about to cry, if you can make your bottom lip shiver, if you feel as if you're about to yawn DO NOT YAWN slowly let out the yawn by doing those little sigh type things you do while crying once you feel your eyes tearing up,

  • Yay!! Im gonna go watch a sad movie but I dont wanna look like i have no sentiments when all my friends are crying and im not thank you so much!

  • i did it but my left eye burned and my right did not

  • I'm trying to figure out a way to use this method in my acting class during a scene. Any ides on how I can make it more natural?

  • So lucky you made this XD

  • OMG PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!because of the drama show i have to wear some sort of special effect contact!!but i have to cry!!!!what should i do!??you're my life saver!!!!

  • So many actors wannabe here. I also wanna be an actor not a celeb, hope you guys an't in it for the sake of being a celeb.

  • But it's sooo painful.... :*OP

  • how to not blink for a long time:

    -focus on one thing intensly

  • You. Are so... cute :D And thanks, i have had A LOT of fun with this! :P

  • Hmm.... Dont need this... All I need to do is think of Thomas J from My Girl, and the tears are there.

  • Thumbs up if when she said "Every time you turn around, you blink," you tried to look around and keep your eyes open! XD

  • Ive been practicing and it hasnt worked. Does it help to after 30 seconds so squeeze ur eyes shut?? Or does tht make it worsee and makes you not able to. Please write back cuz my dream is to be an actor ! :)

  • thank you!!!

  • yeah i just watch this but i cant cry i did it more than 30 seconds but i couldnt cry i tried all day plz write back cuz i want to be an actor thanks

  • @IceQueenHeiress2012 I really want to be able to cry and it's exactly like you said: at first, it's just water and not tears but I want to be able to cry on comand. I don't act but I'd love to and that would really help me. Can't wait to try this in class! ;)

  • DUDE! im so dump!!!! i keept my eyes open WAY 2 long!! and they dried up! 8p silly me! i was getting the watery feeling i though if i keep pn it will make me cry but it dried me up!! LOLZ

  • I know it says in the first line that we need to take contacts out, but is there ANY way to make yourself cry with them in because I can't or would rather not do my performance in my glasses and I can't do it without either of them or I won't be able to see anything.

  • Thanks for the vids!!! I was practicing in science & maths today because I really want to be a good actress =) Do you know any good sad monologues?! Thanks!!! =)

  • I'm sorry I mean how much do u think I shoul practice everyday

  • It's so hard but I'll get it someday how much do u think it will take me to cry

  • I CAN DO IT YEY !!!! :) THAT HELPED ME ALOT TO GET WHAT I WHANT

  • Hi! this really helps me a lot . thank you soo much. I am curious about contacts. this worked perfect when i took them out, but is there a method with contacts in that you know of? and also just outa curiousity.. is this at all bad for you eyes?? :) thanksss

  • Really Good Video Thanks Alot <3.

  • I can cry really easily. Sometimes, I don't even have to try!

  • That totally works

  • im stupid cuz my screen is bright i tried it and i wuz only able to do it for like 10 seconds cuz IT BURNS!!! LOL

  • I know a way that could make learning easier. Looking up should always make it easier to not blink if you keep forcing your eyes to look up. This can help with a sad dramatic position. Slightly hanging your head and looking up at the other person with big eyes is a slightly sad position, will help you keep your eyes open, and may slightly lessen the fight against gravity considering the tears form at the bottom of your eyes.

  • I was suprised to get a really big tear the first time i tried :D But it really helps, thnx alot for the vid ;)

  • i did the mirror thing and right when i was staring i was thinking......STARING CONTEST!!!!! sadly the mirror won and i cried.

  • I got it! It stinged really bad but it worked :P Thanks :D

  • 15th -=^)

  • Now 14th =D

  • My 13th try I got a big tear ;)

  • 1:47

    RWAWRWRARWRARA

  • I get my eyes really watery, but I can't seem to get big tears. what am I doing wrong?

  • it really works thank you just need more advice about acting

  • Ergh, I did everything you said, and I still can't do it. I'm trying to get my resume pimped out by learning different accents, and how to cry no cue, and stuff.

    I just fail, heh heh.

  • OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thx you`re great^.^

  • Thank-you! x =) lol

  • I was practicing this on school!

    lol

  • well kids here is the reason you can cry using the rub and dont blink techneic- well to keep you eyes clean you body releases "tears" through blinking to remove dusk, when you rub you remove this "shield" and dust colects on your eyes cousing aritation so your body manualy releases more "tears" to remove this dust as soon as posible :D

  • YOU ARE A GOD

  • Thank-you so much, I'm going to keep practicing this!!

  • it worked on my parents when i got in trouble

  • omg thank you I tried this twice the second time I actuallly got 2 huge tear drops :)

  • Funny, I sent you that same message only a few seconds before I saw this in the related videos. Lol

  • It soooooo works! :D but my sister still cant do iiit:D she jelous :) and you STILL rock!!

  • i think by you holding your eyes open at first while you practice.you are letn your eyes build up a pain tolerance for the burn..so after you practice now ,you will be able to keep your eyes open with out blinking..Also by whipping your eyes first you are adding built up salt in your eye lids to make you tear faster..could i have said it any better,lol.. Ive been Acting for a few years now and im in the process of doing my 3rd film this year..thank you ice queen you realy helped me out.I

  • thnxs

  • I really love you for this <3 lol. :D

  • thanx ! it works x

  • I had to poke myself in the eye =( lol

  • Thank you so much! You have really helped my acting skills by making this video, it's was really useful! :)

    Georgia, England

  • hey thanxz this actully worked ;D

  • o cool dude

  • THANK YOU!

    

  • Omg this dosent realy work my eyes don't open that far

  • another tip is to yawn with a closed mouth, works for me but i'll practise this way too, thank you

  • sry.. but some people can actually cry faster than anyone else, i mean, i cried w/ both eyes wen i watched ur video... im not saying its easy tho... some people might have problems w/ it... but so far, i can do it easily w/out holding my eyes... but o well..

  • this is for asains :P

  • Thanks for this, it really helps. Although, it would have been brilliant if you'd cryed on cue after saying the comments brighten up your day.

  • cool it worked for me!

  • so so so so so so so sos so so so so so so so sos so so so so so so so so so so lame

  • I have a question.. If you are wearing contacts do you really have to take em off??? And you are like the best, it actually works I just tried it last night and it worked and my eyes got used to it a little... Thanks!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • lol why would you have to practice keeping your yes open

  • There's a little more to it than that:) lol

  • will it work with contacts?

  • Read the first line in the description. lol

  • @smartyharty1227 No, you have to take them out before you cry.

  • @smartyharty1227 WELL DO YOU READ DESCRIPTIONS TAKE YOUR CONTACTS OUT!

  • thx a lot! it helped !

  • omg u look retarted with your eyes lik that

  • this one helped more than the last one... it helped my get out of detention. lol i skipped class.. and they caught me. and i used this trick to make the excuse i was sick in the bathroom. thx for getting me out of HUGE trouble!!!

  • It works for me! :D Can you show us some things when your acting? (I totally need that!) And how to fake laugh?

    Hugs and kisses!

  • @carolinekaste I will try to get a laughing video out shortly, and I'll make an acting tips video too.

  • i can only do one eye thats ok cause yours only worked on 1 and is my nose supposed to run? why dose it do this?

  • I think it has something to do with the fat that your tear canals are conneted to it (I think), like, when you cry beause of an onion it's actually because of the SMELL of the onion :)

  • fact* connected* because*

  • it's because your tear ducts are connected to your nose. That stuff that makes your nose runny are your tears!

  • It worked with my contacts in.

  • thanx!

  • yer the best .. ;]

  • ur my hero!!!!

  • thank you soooo mych! it really worked! its the best vid showing me how to yet!

  • *cry* LOL. For some reason, when I do the cry thing, it's always my right eye XD

  • It works for me but how long did it take you till you were able to do it woth out holding your eyes

  • About a week, I practiced a lot! If you practice you should be able to in no time.

  • ur amazinngggg!!! Love this vid :D really does help!!!

  • Thank you a lot you are a big help! It worked! Thanks again!

  • This is rly cool. Lol I could imagine if somebody held their eyes open during a performance though ^^

  • OMG use onion and you will cry an entire river!

  • theres an aloooot easier way if you can make yourself yawn on purpose your eyes automatically water so yawn on purpose about 4 or 5 times in a rown then blink youe eyes tears eventually start to run down your cheek and it only takes about 3 minutes to do it

  • Dude, you're my hero. I need to look upset for a drama audition in a couple of weeks and this is perfect. Thanks. :)

  • WELL THANK YOU! Break a leg with your audition and God Bless You!!!

  • I think SHE's a duddes(girl) :D

  • @jeyko666 its dudine

  • i have a tip

    try only on one eye.

    use both hands on one eye and keep the other closed

  • you helped me a lot :D

  • I can get tears. but i cant make them go out. my eyes only gets wet

  • blink.

  • No way.....was looking for methods and this works the best for me out of EVERYTHING. Mastered it in five minutes. Filming in feb and this has boosted my confidence. Five stars.

  • how do you make a tear come out? can you make a video to tell us how to make a tear come out

  • @AlwaysInTrouble11 um not to be rude....but isn't that what I've been doing?

  • dang!!! ur good!!! lol :D

  • OMG this is gonna help soooo much in my drama assessment... THANK YOU!!!!!

  • No problem, I purposely made these video for people who need to cry in drama classes:)

  • i watched ur first video it worked! ...u feel continously to cry more after you feel the tears, thanks!

  • Oh I know...it's like when you start...you don't wanna stop!

  • i don'y have contavts and my eyes burn but somehow i can't mke myself cry :)

  • rub your eyes until they are red and then try it...

  • Thank you so much! after about my 6th try i actually got a tear to roll down my face! great video :)

  • i keep my eyes open for almost 3 minutes but tey never get watery!

    help plz!!!

  • hmmm...are you wearing contacts?

    how many times have you tried to cry?

    is it burning when you hold them open?

  • it burnssssssssssss . try makeing fake diarrea

  • Wow. I Love this,

    I think it can be quite useful...

    :D Thanks A Bunch!

    You Just got Subscribed.

  • Thanks a lot!

  • u look like some1 i know

  • hmmmm i wonder who...

  • GREAT VIDEO!!!

    I Think it's really good to try and practice this and make yourself cry. But just to try and add something on that mirror thing here, I think when you see yourself in the mirror and you were able to make yourself believe it, IDK how to say it, but I think it's about watching your reflection cry so then you would cry more as well. lol, it's a little hard say it in a comment. Thanks for the video, I'm SOOO gonna try and use that trick.

  • i think i know what you mean...do you mean like have emotion when you cry? like actually play the part too?

  • Exactly. Mostly if you really know yourself enough to be two characters at once, I think it gets easier for you to cry when seeing your "other you" cry as well.

  • yeah:) it's just that since this is a tutorial, I didn't want to make it seem like i'm throwing a whole bunch at everyone at once. First comes the tears, then comes the emotion. But i'm probably gonna do a video where I CRY "WITH" EMOTION soon.

  • It BURNS

    lol

  • it is hard to do it this way when you have contact lenses in, I wear them, I found out most of the time when you have contacts in, just YAWN!

  • what if you have contact lenses?

    i actually watched myself in the mirror for 2minutes.

    i actually timed myself.

    but i still couldn't cry.

    can u put more detail into it?

  • ok first of all there is no possible way for your eyes to "water" like this is if you have contacts in! lol:) The contacts keep your eyes from drying, which is the actual reason WHY you will cry. I promise if you take out your contacts and then try it again it will work:)

  • ur in the bath-tub? : T uhmm weird. buth it looks like it works i'll give it a try! lol x]

  • no i'm not in the bathtub!!! lol. i'm in the bath room but the shower's behind me!:)

  • hasent worked yet but ill keep practicing

  • THANK YOU SOOO MUCH IT WORKS

  • thank you it works

  • tyy :)

  • What do you think about rolling your eyes as a technique. There's a girl on ibeatyou, who does a staring contest and she rolls her eyes a lot, and during the video she has about seven or eight tears running down her cheeks

  • you know i've never heard of that or tried that before. it could work. i guess i would have to experiment with that several times before giving you a good analysis on that. I will look into it just for you though.

  • Thank you

  • IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!1 but it worked :D

  • My tear ducts must be retarded, because I just held my eyes open for like an hour and a half. No tears.

  • your so good at this lol. I subbed

  • Thanks so much MissMuzsic!

  • Your welcome :)

  • works for me thx....

  • ok. :) So i have a question...That does work, but like after a while of practicing will the tears come naturally like as soon as you need to fake cry? Cuz im in a play..and i only have a few lines to work off of before i have to cry...so i cant just be standing there staring off into space until my line comes....HA!

    :D

  • it'll take at least ten seconds when you're good at fake crying, don't stare into space. concentrate on someone, that will seem natural, probably a good 15 seconds before you actually have to cry. i hope this helps.

  • LOL! ROFL- thanks SO much or the tips!

  • Thanks! This was really helpful! I'm getting into acting and all I've ever heard on how to make myself cry is to think of something really sad. That's okay, but it didn't work for me. This works really well! Thanks for the video!

  • thnx!

  • poke yourself in the eye!!

  • Thanks for this, i never thought to rub my eyes to start off with, but it works really well!

  • Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!!!!!! I can now cry for my summer video!

  • I used to be able to keep my eyes open when I was young, for a long time, to cry, cause I was curious why I blinked. Then I got older. And got worser. LOL. But it's not real because crying involves sniffing and stuff, so how do you make it seem real?

  • well...to make it seem real...i would suggest flaring your nostrils...just a little bit...it makes it seem real...

  • thanks for leting me know how to cry. I am very good at fake crying now.

  • lol

  • Hey =] thanks sooo much 4 posting this, your a GREAT help =]

    are you an actress?

  • I WISH!!!!! But for now just theatre plays:)

  • KEWLL!!

    done any big theatre plays?

  • oh when i mean theatre i mean high school theatre...however, i plan to be in a production of GREASE later this year...if I get casted...

  • good luck :)
