If you want to become a better roleplaye the first step would have to be developing your character. Once you develope a character all of their actions will come out naturally. Like one good write said that once you creat the characters the actions come out on their own. What happens? How your character reacts? What they choose to do? It's not really your choice part of it is but it's mostly all your character. You have to really think about what your character would do not what you want to do. Once you create a character they come alive on their own. Below is a few questions that would help you bring your character to life.
