Dialect coach
Also called accent coach, dialect and accent coach
A dialect coach helps an actor learn the accent or dialect a role needs and, on a shoot, listens for slips so the actor can concentrate on performing.
If a slip gets through on set, the coach can flag the line so that it is re-recorded afterwards.
