actoring 

A made up word by the youtuber Tomska to define the act of acting or obviously fake/bad acting to the point where the immersion of the audience would be broken. Actoring could be done for comedic effort or accidentally through poorly delivered lines, wrong expression ect.

The actoring in the movie The Room was brilliant! It made it hilarious to watch

actoring 

The infinitive form of this intransitive verb is "to actor". In a scene where an actor is actoring, that person's focus on winning an award is what comes through to the audience, rather than the character that the actor is supposed to be playing. Actoring most often happens in an emotional scene full of tears, during a monologue, or while the actor is staring into space contemplatively and wistfully, but actoring can be done in almost any scene that involves a long close-up shot of the thespian's face. Most actors will actor at most once or twice during the entire run of a television show or in a single movie. But some people, such as Nicolas Cage, have a special talent for actoring.

Ppphhhh. He's actoring right now. I guess he wants an Oscar nomination. So much for the suspension of disbelief.
