Proclamator

A proclamator is a person who shouts notices aloud. The word is derived from the Latin word pro-clamare , which means 'loud shouting, shouting'.

A proclamator is also used to refer to the people who loudly call out the bids of the participants in a public auction . In Krünitz's encyclopedia (19th century) it says, "Proclamator ... is the name of the person who at the public auctions or subhastation calls out loudly the bid made by one or the other."
