Le but du conteur est d'attirer et garder l'intérêt d'un public, en s'assurant que les gens qui composent l'auditoire vivent l'histoire dans leur imaginaire. Le conteur utilise principalement ses connaissances, son imaginaire et ses talents d'improvisation pour raconter son histoire. L'art du conteur se différencie à la fois de celui de l'écriture, de la lecture à voix haute ou de la simple récitation orale d'un conte. Le conte oral va donc varier d'une fois à l'autre, d'un conteur à l'autre. 3, record 2, French, - conteur
