utterer

One who speaks

An utterer is someone who utters—speaks, expresses, or puts something into circulation.

The word appears most often in legal contexts, where an utterer passes forged documents or counterfeit currency: The utterer of the fake bills was arrested at the bank.

More rarely, it simply means a speaker: the utterer of those words.
