ABSTRACT

This paper was aimed at exploring with performing patterns of storyteller in the late of Choseon Dynasty, which based on foreigner's records. There are not a few records to describe precisely the scene of fiction reading, the performance of storyteller and the Pansori's performance. However, foreigners failed to distinguish between the appearance of reading the novel aloud and pansori singing. That's because the way of actual performance was similar. They were entertainers to be able to talk, sing and act professionally in common. Storyteller and fiction reader had a show in a similar way to the pansori performers. Professional storyteller's stories were one of sources that gave a considerable impact on the formation of pansori's original contents. One of Pansori's formation was caused to add to special song's techniques and musical elements on the original story of professional storyteller. And later pansori was made by 'play song', which meet the demands of the 18~19th centuries and a sense of audience. While the novel was read by a professional storyteller who learned the ways of recitation from memory with the form of so-called 'story songs'. The general public also enjoyed generally the recitation and reading aloud in life, which is not required in the form of special arts. Recitation of novel and story song which enjoyed easily in life were unique storytelling way to respond to demand of professionality, time and interest by readers of the day.
