pronouncers
Those who articulate
Pronouncers are people who pronounce things—words, judgments, or declarations.
The term appears most often in spelling bee contexts, where the pronouncer reads words aloud for contestants: The pronouncer repeated the word twice before the timer started.
Someone who pronounces sentence or verdict may also be called a pronouncer.
