intoner

One who chants

An intoner is someone who intones—that is, speaks or recites in a sustained, melodic manner, often with little variation in pitch.

The term typically describes clergy, chanters, or others who deliver prayers, liturgical texts, or formal proclamations in a solemn, ritualized voice.

The intoner began the evening prayer in a deep, resonant monotone.
