We are, most of us, acting all the time. Socially, so much of what we say and do and how we say and do it is false and contrived. This is by no means a bad thing. This is what allows most social transactions to go smoothly and uneventfully.
Some are better at this acting than others.
What does it mean to be a good actor?
It means that one's will dictates the emotions one shows. Feelings do not have to actually be felt to be expressed; they can be chosen. Actions, expressions, inflections that are considered to be unintentional are, for the natural actor, all quite intentional. And the actor can be left wondering what of what they say and do is genuine and what isn't.
