Question,

 Does your iMac give the start up tones when you turn it on?

 Answr if no start up tones you wont get voiceover talking to you during the 
installation,

So turn the machine off completely then do a PRAM reset,
 That's hold down the keys command, option letter R and the letter p then while 
holding those keys down power on the machine 

Once you hear the start up tones twice you can let the keys go and then shut 
down your machine and start the installation from scratch,

I've had this happen a number of times to me at work.
Voice over should now work for you.

Subject: Installer not talking on my iMac

Hi all
I had to format and install a clean copy of Sierra for a friend over the 
weekend and thought while I have the installer on a USB flash drive I might as 
well do my iMac as well, since I’ve been wanting to do a clean install for a 
while.

Everything worked as expected on my friends MBP and I did the clean install for 
him, Voiceover talked me through the entire process as expected. However this 
morning when I wanted to do my iMac, Voiceover simply didn’t want to start 
during the installation process no matter what I tried.
For reference I then inserted the USB drive with the installer in to my Macbook 
Pro and booted in to it and Voiceover started just fine, but nothing happens on 
my iMac.

Anyone had this happen to them before, any ideas or solutions?
My iMac is a late 2013 model running Sierra, my friends MBP which Voiceover 
worked on during installation is a mid 2012 and my MBP is a mid 2015 Retina.
