The video tutorial introduces three vocabulary words: actor, character, and setting. The teacher explains the difference between an actor and a character, emphasizing that an actor is a human being who creates a character using their body, face, and voice. Through demonstrations, students Xavier and Michael act out characters of a soldier and a grandpa, respectively, showcasing how actors can embody different roles. The concept of setting is introduced as the place where a story occurs, preparing students for an upcoming activity involving acting out the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
