Default How to “act weak”?

How do you act weak? I am talking about live games only, and specific tells or mannerisms that are effective to intentionally give the appearance that your hand is weak. I can’t yet picture myself intentionally making my hand tremble when I make a bet, for example, since this is so counter-intuitive to poker, but maybe this works?

Also, do you do this intentionally? I have a feeling this is not a common strategy, since a premium is placed on strength or the appearance of strength in poker. I’ve never intentionally acted weak at the table, but I can think of situations where it would have helped.
