Actress Tips to Animate Sadness

I'm an animator, but I've also been an actress for 16 years and I have needed to cry in several movies and series, and there’s a lot of coaching behind it.

Actors go through a lot of education to achieve this, at least I know I did. The thing is, as animators we are actors. We’re selling the performance of the character. A lot of the time, by shooting our own reference.
The problem is animators usually never take acting lessons. So if you’re struggling to get a believable performance, I will be sharing some of my most powerful tips and tricks that can push your performance further as well as understanding how sadness affects our brain and perception of art.
