vocalizers
Those who speak
Vocalizers are those who vocalize—who produce sounds with the voice.
The term applies to singers, to animals that make calls, and to devices that generate speech or sound.
In linguistics, vocalizers are sounds produced with vibration of the vocal cords.
The forest's dawn vocalizers included thrushes, warblers, and a distant owl.
