How can I make myself cry? I seem to have such a hard time with that. And I also have problems with showing other types of emotions. Can anyone help me by giving me any tips. :)

Whatever tears you up the most, use it. Also, if your character is really upset, try to get into character... try to really feel what the character feels. And if all else fails, find something nontoxic, but still annoying, to put in your eyes... If you don't actually have to be seen all read faced, you can put your head in your hands and laugh--if you do it right, it looks and sounds like crying.
For other emotions, try really exaggerating. Or, pretend that you ARE the character; I'm sure you express emotions just fine as your normal self, so if you blur the line between you and the character you should be fine. Good luck! [ daughterofwily's advice column | Ask daughterofwily A Question ]
