  • @hannahcampbell7074
    @hannahcampbell7074 4 года назад +1224

    Don't use emotional recall. It's when you, for example, think of your dog dying or your sister getting in an accident. Emotional recall is when you think of the saddest moment of your life or something horrifying happening to someone/something you love. Eventually, you will get numb to the memory and it won't be important or sad anymore which causes a real toll to your mental stability. Many actors/acting coaches recommend it and it is horrible for your mental health.

      Tiffani Walker yep! Some actors use the stare method where they don’t blink but I could never do that. The closest I’ll get is a single tear that doesn’t look that realistic. But hey, if you’re an aspiring actor all the best! Some of the best actors can’t cry on cue, but there are so many products to help. Good luck!

      Toca Hazel that’s not a good method:(, it’s not reliable, it can distract you, or worse, it could work, resulting in you being very very vulnerable, making you prone to loose control of your emotions, which will result in bad acting.

      People, as actors, need to separate their emotions, otherwise it can result in bad acting.

    • @MakitaVEVO
      @MakitaVEVO 4 года назад +1

      I’ll explain myself a little more. Actors are story tellers, what (most) actors do while, for example, crying on a scene, is that they tell the story as it had already happened, they are kinda looking back to the thing that’s making them sad, that’s the difference between acting and real life.
      If you have a scene in which the character is loosing his son, the actor won’t be reacting as an actual person loosing his son, a person who is loosing their son (most of the time) is desperate, they won’t be able to articulate words, they won’t be able to communicate, so if an actor does that onscreen or onstage it will result in a messy message and in a confused audience, it just doesn’t work. When you’re acting, you are thinking of telling the story as it had already happened, that’s like your mental state, like your mood, that’s what needs to be going in your head,; when you normally tell a sad thing that happened to you a while ago, you are not having the same reaction you had when that sad thing took place, you are now in control of your emotions and you can cry, but being able to send the message you want to send, that’s what you’re looking for while acting. Take the same example, same actor, same scene, same dialog, the actor just switches his way to process the scene, this time he’s thinking about telling that scene as if it was something that already happened; the actor will be (most likely) crying, but always in control of his emotions, that way the message he’s sending is clear, not confusing and also moving, so now the audience is crying with him too.
      So, just to summarize:
      Actor who looses control of their emotions -> results in confused audience.
      Actor who is in control of their emotions -> results in moved and touched audience.
      So if you think about it, it actually seems more natural to just act the crying instead of making yourself actually cry out of sadness, thing which, btw, I don’t think is natural at all, since you are making yourself sad to cry, you’re forcing that emotion though sad thoughts.
      Also, not bringing up real emotions is just the professional thing to do, acting is a job, weather is a small or a big part, and you don’t bring your emotions to your job.
      And last thing! Keeping personal emotions separate from your acting has a huge bonus; you keep your mental health♥️✨.

    @ColegGwentvideos 4 года назад +12

    When acting live or rehersing scenes, make sure to always re-read the script over and over, channelling the character you play and have a good cry. Always tring to feel their emotions throughout your performance is a definite yes! It's like faking a panic attack. If you re-read or rehearse every step of your characters nerves you can get in touch with that feeling and connect with the character so much- that it's almost easy to shake your hands, breathe heavily and purposefully distant yourself from people in a scene. If you can do all of that, you will make it. I promise. Practise becoming one with your role. Be that person. Use every aspect of their life possible and use that key, treasurable knowledge to open the door. xx

    Crying is easy.
    Step 1: Yawn on command try yawning a couple of times tears will fall down. (Eventualy)
    If you can yawn on command and can get some tears in action
    You gotta try and yawn with ur mouth (CLOSED) try it a couple of times train urself... and make some crying dramatic faces. NOT TO DRAMATIC.
    If it doesnt work then you could try and do a combination of yawning with closed mouth . And think about ur past what you dont like maybe you have lost someone or you got ur heart broken just find some emotions .
    Do that in combinations and DONE
