vocalizer
One who speaks
A vocalizer is someone or something that produces vocal sounds.
The term applies broadly to singers, speakers, and animals that make sounds with their vocal apparatus.
In music, it often refers to a singer, particularly one who performs wordless vocal exercises or scat singing.
The word also describes electronic devices or software that convert text or other input into spoken or sung output.
