text: when acting, whats the best way to make your self cry? im not meaning sarcastic cry i mean really deep cry one that the audience will feel. some professional actors rub a small amount of vicks just under the eye. this will prduce real tears but too much will cause you eyes too run uncontrably. i suggest wiping a ting amount on the checkbone as this will make your eyes water. of course its all in your acting ability to make the audience really feel it. good luck! x
