Etymology: "Voicers" is the plural of "voicer", a noun formed from the verb "voice" with the agentive suffix "-er", meaning one who voices something. The verb "voice" itself traces back through Old French "voix" to Latin "vox", "voice", and the same base sits behind words like "vociferate" and "advocate", which share the idea of speaking out for someone or something. The suffix does most of the work here. Attaching "-er" to a verb has produced countless agent nouns in English, such as "baker" or "teacher", so "voicer" follows a familiar pattern, naming the person who performs the action. Because "voice" can also be a noun, the word can be understood as built from either sense, which is why the form is open to two parallel derivations.

Synonyms: speakers, announcers, articulators, communicators, orators
