If you were an actor in a movie, what emotion would you best portray and why? They say in acting it is best to draw on past events to help you come up with each specific emotion. For instance, if you had to shed tears according to the script, you would think on a circumstance in the past that was really sad and perhaps caused you to cry. What part would you play best and what past event helps you portray that particular emotion?

Yresh, I hate crying too! Especially crying in front of people. That's so tough, but maybe if it were fake crying on TV, that might not be so hard. I've taken acting classes back in the day, and I've been told the "deep emotions" you referred to are from past events that have happened in your life. My acting teachers told me when I want to cry to think about something in the past that made me cry, and draw energy from that. When I want to laugh, I think of something hilarious that happened, and so on. Acting is tricky, but it's really fun and rewarding when done right. I mean, after all, we can tell a good actor on TV from a bad one, can't we? lol

If I were an actor in a movie. I would portray Michael Jackson, billy jean & his moon walk with emotion on the air.If I had to shed tears I will think my childhood days that I cried because of the miserable condition of my past life. Drama is good to cry specially if you experience poverty in your life then apply to actual situation in life.
