Active voice means putting the actor with the action.
Passive voice: The man was stung by a bee. (The word "by" is a clue that it is passive.)
Active voice: A bee stung the man. (The bee is the actor-- a bee stings.)
Passive voice: The phone bill was paid by me.
Active voice: I paid the phone bill.
Active voice is natural, direct, but makes the actor do the action which makes the sense clear.
