chorusing

Voices joining simultaneously

Chorusing is speaking or singing together in unison.

When a group responds simultaneously—children answering a teacher, crowds chanting at rallies, or voices joining in song—they are chorusing: The students chorused "Good morning!".

The word captures the effect of multiple voices merging into one sound.
