Laughing can be difficult, but people always talk about how hard it is to cry.There are a lot of little tricks that can make a laugh believable.Even though these are helpful for actors, you can pick up tips that may be useful in socially awkward situations.The laughs will follow if you get in a funny frame of mind.
Step 1: You're in a lighthearted mindset if you find something that is funny.
Someone told a funny joke, you remember a scene from a hilarious movie, or something just struck you as silly and made you laugh.Great performances by funny actors could inspire you.You can remember the funny moment if you isolated it.You might think of an embarrassing memory or a funny line from a movie that has become funny over time.
Step 2: People laugh in different ways.
If a friend tells a really funny story or you laugh at something that's funny, you might have a deep, belly laugh.Different laughs for different settings can make your performance more effective.You might want to write down how the laughter sounds.If you are playing a character that is surprised by something funny, you might have a lighter, higher laugh.It is possible that your character is trying to hold back from laughing.I'm not sure where to start.Pay attention to all of the laughing styles you hear, and study yourself, a close friend, or a character in a funny movie.
Step 3: It is easier to laugh when you are immersed in the situation.
Imagine how your character would respond to that scene.This makes your laugh believable.If your character is sarcastic, you can give a short, slow laugh.You might give a big, goofy laugh if your character is happy and joyful.Getting into character may require you to spend more time reading the script to understand your character's personality and humor.They may give a short, strained laugh if they are nervous.Not an actor?If you want to laugh at the end of a friend's joke, follow it a little more closely.It's possible to find a truly funny joke if you cue in on when to laugh.
Step 4: You can trick your body into laughing by doing this.
If you can't get into a funny state of mind, focus on the physical aspect of laughing.Say, "huh" or "ha" as you draw in your stomach.If you repeat this, you'll get realistic-sounding laughter.This is a great way to start laughing.If your character will be laughing with others, this is a great laugh to use.It's easy for your body to take over once you start.
Step 5: It doesn't sound natural, and you can probably spot it.
Real laughter uses your lungs and emotions to produce a unique sound.If you want to laugh, breathe in deeply and let out the air.It's more natural to laugh with your whole body than it is to make a sound.It's easy for your lungs to expand if you keep your body loose.When your character might be reacting to something funny, use this laugh for scenes.You've probably seen someone laugh so hard that they can't breathe.The extra breaths make it look like you're really laughing.
Step 6: You can make a fake laugh more realistic with a smile.
Instead of posing for a picture and pretending to be happy, remember a time when you were really happy.When you smile, spread your smile across your face up to your eyes.Your laugh will seem natural.
Step 7: You could pat your chest or cover your mouth.
These small gestures can make your laughter seem more authentic than if you just stand up straight and laugh.People in a crowd can help you pick up on more movements.Raising your eyebrows while smiling can make people laugh.While laughing, your script might include physical movements that you should do.
Step 8: You use a lot of muscles when you laugh.
If you practice laughing on command, your body will be used to it.As you practice, you'll feel more confident, which will make the laughter seem more authentic.It is possible to practice in front of a mirror to see if you are smiling.
