I just got hired for my first pro acting gig at a long-standing melodrama theatre in my city! All of the cast members have years of experience, so I have large shoes to fill 😅 This is such a helpful breakdown, thank you so much for this video! 😊

all acting is melodramatic as long as you play background music

melodramatic does not mean insulting. melodramatic: characteristic of melodrama, especially in being exaggerated, sensationalized, or overemotional.

My drama teacher showed us this video.

now as we learned what is melodrama, can we use the word as an insult, but in the right place? :D.. as you said it's really powerful....but i am really tired of seeing the same cliche story-types being used just because it's easier to make everyone like 'em

Umm... melodrama is 'over the top' acting. Intentionally NOT being dramatic. Its over the top drama. No music involved.
"A drama, such as a play, film, or television program, characterized by exaggerated emotions, stereotypical characters, and interpersonal conflicts."
