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.

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 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!

Remember when we were babies we literally could just cry anytime we wanted, As we aged we lost the ability, But this video, Is a charmer!

[berenicemorvillez]

as a 15yo beginner film director i found it very interesting, because for my 2nd short film the main actress (who's also one of my best friends) needs to cry and it's amazing to be able to help her !

As a fake cryer, this is all amazing. Usually when I fake cry, I use method 4. But for people who don’t know how to fake cry…
THIS IS AMAZING❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keep up the good work!

[RiyaJade]

This is so good! I am 13, I’ve been in musical theatre shows and Westend shows. I sometimes struggle to cry on cue and I had a panic attack one time when I got so frustrated trying to cry/get upset. But this helped me a lot!!! Thank you x

[Pops-fqpg]

i am so glad you are back. you are literally the most inspiring young actress i know. thanks for your amazing content :) paintbrush <3

[aspennichols]

I literally use the yawning one so much it's something i'm known for at my school. My body has gotten so used to crying when I yawn that I cry whenever I yawn and people get super worried lmao.

[chloehsieh]

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.

Thank you so much Makayla for giving out free acting tips🙏. It means so much!
Also the monologue submissions are the best idea ever. So entertaining and educational!

[DTC-Destroythecollider]

Me and my sister roleplay and I cosplayed as a video game character and voice acted him and cried hysterically for the act.

[marcusmcpherson]

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. I thought the simplicity and vulnerability of Wilder's writing really fit her well. I agree with a lot of the critiques that you gave her, but I truly thought it was well done.

[noagallagher.]

Makayla: ENOUGH happiness, we gotta get sad today.

Me: literally starts bursting out laughing, I can’t be sad when someone tells me to. 😂
