If your job is to help actors on a show with their dialect -- say they need to speak as if they are from London, Texas, or Boston, or NY or whatever (France, Germany, etc would be an accent, not a dialect) -- you are a dialect coach, not a consultant.


The issue/job is more nuanced than that, but the guy I emailed got my point, and that's what matters.


Okay? I mean, you asked...

When there's a medical show, like Grey's Anatomy or ER, and the studio hires an actual doctor so the lines and actions within the script make sense? Or on a cop show, when the studio hires a retired cop to make sure?
