how do actors and actresses cry when they are working?

The wonderful thing about acting it is a talent and a job. Many cry from training and they teach you to go back into your past and find something that will make you react with tears. Many can't cry. Sometimes you will find they've sprayed their face with a spray bottle to have tears on their face.

I do believe that this is true because actors and actresses are always forced to do things agaist their wills. Most movies do not give a contract to a actor or actreess. The actor or actress must chose between their the movie or loseing their job. Also, you cannot ask if you can be in a movie, you have to be invited to be in one.

I feel some actors and actresses are really talented trained professional actors who get into the skin of the characters and are able to visualise as characters of film and emote naturally. While some use glycerine in their eyes to show that they are crying. Or somebody slaps someone to make them cry or get angry. lol. Cheers:)

you know they say that actors whether trained professionally or through experience has learned to perfect the art of getting into the character they supposed to play. and for most of them to get into real tears or anger the draw it from their past sad experiences. the more exposed yuou are to these emotions, the better you are when it comes to acting.
