 Re: How to Cry on Cue | |
Neat article!
I'm a firm believer that tears are NEVER an actual necessity, so long as the actor has a very truthful emotional life going on. Just because an actor has a tear streaming down their face, doesn't mean they are full of emotion. It could just be that they know how to trigger tears: big deal. But if the emotional life of the scene is being honored, then I, the audience, am much more likely to be moved by it - tears or no tears. |
