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.
