TL;DR Summary
An acting coach shares tips on how to make yourself cry on command, emphasizing the importance of imagination and emotional accessibility. The Meisner technique encourages actors to daydream about emotionally impactful scenarios and attach themselves to those feelings during performances. While some actors may use makeup tricks or physical irritants to produce tears, the focus should be on portraying authentic and quality emotions rather than forcing tears.
