A person who emotes; someone who expresses emotions in a dramatic, theatrical, or exaggerated manner.
Formed from 'emote' by adding the agent suffix '-er,' creating a noun for one who performs the action. Dating to mid-20th century usage in theater and performance criticism.
Theater critics used 'emoter' to describe actors who relied on feeling and expression rather than technique—it's a useful word for distinguishing between authentic emotional connection and dramatic overacting.
