How to Cry on Command

Find a great breakdown that really excites you? Uh Oh, what's that at the bottom of the character description? "Must be able to cry on command." What are you going to do?!? Every time you try to prepare for a crying scene you just stand by the dumpster near the elevator and feel bad about yourself but not bad enough to cry!

But fear not Hackstagers! We discussed crying-on-command techniques with some of the best acting teachers in the biz and here are our favorite suggestions. Happy Sobbing!

Read this passage from the Fault in Our Stars:

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
