I read a biography on Maria Callas years ago (can't remember which one). In it her stage craft was described. It seemed quite calculated (e.g., collapsing her rib cage when exiting the stage to convey a feeling of defeat). Reportedly, she was believable and thrilling to watch. Perhaps looking committed and being committed are not the same thing.
Just musing...
