Commoners as well as nobles but especially children like a good story and you can tell many of them. Unlike singers or other artist you exercise your art mainly trough the spoken word. In taverns or public places people likely gather around you to hear your voice, providing you with a fee, food or a place to sleep.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Successful entertainers have to be able to capture and hold an audience’s attention, so they tend to have flamboyant or forceful personalities. They’re inclined toward the romantic and often cling to high-minded ideals about the practice of art and the appreciation of beauty.
