Overacting
Overacting (or hamming) is the exaggeration of
gestures and speech when
acting. It may be unintentional, particularly in the case of a bad
actor, or be part of the role. For the latter, it is commonly used in comical situations. Since the perception of acting quality differs between people the extent of overacting can be subjective.
