No you don't know what you look like when you honestly cry. Belive me your not getting it. All acting is based on fear and intimidation. Your young aren't you. This is good. Yea I did do those things when I was your age. I read philosopy and political science books also. I'm
44 years old. Do you like dark actors or are you a happy person. Because if you are your not going to get or understand anthing I say. Mabe you like walt disney or sound do music. This is not a cut. Those are great movies. you sound like you might a have an above average intelligence. 36% of the population does. 64% are average. But you said you like to laugh. Try doing a serious monologue, and then as your reading it and trying to knock the audience dead, walk over and step in front of the mirror. try and catch yourself off gaurd. Because this is what does it. You need to laugh at yourself and I mean from the gut. So your not pushing or forcing yourself to laugh. If you can do this,it will change your perspective the way you look at people,things life in general. Real life is odinary mundane and sometimes boring. What goes on up their on that stage or silver screen Totally electric. Its like tapping into an oil well You will feel a change in energy also. You will know it if you can make it happen. And when it does you keep it and sustain it using your mind. This will give your stage presence, depth and make look very ineresting so they can't take their eyes off you. If you can get those ingreidients, you will we beat out the semi pro actors and be up with the big boys. time to go. good luck.
