A voice coach - is an acting coach who helps an actor design the
voice and speech of a character in the context of a cinematic, stage,
radio or animation voiceover production.
The voice coach’s job is to do a research on languages, dialects and
their speech patterns, to prepare training materials based on the way
languages sound, to instruct and work on lines with the actor.
A voice coach will give the actor feedback focusing on issues of
credibility, consistency, and clarity.
In a word, voice coaches teach actors how to imitate a language that
an actor doesn’t speak.

Which accent is on demand?
British (or Australian) actor should do an American
accent because the movie and TV market in the
United States is larger than either of those countries,
and the demand for British and Australian accents in
the US is lower than is the demand for American
accents.
