mouthpiece
Speaks for another
A mouthpiece is the part of an instrument, phone, pipe, or other device that goes in or near the mouth.
A mouthpiece is also a spokesperson—someone who speaks on behalf of another person or organization, often with the implication that they lack independent views: The newspaper became a mouthpiece for the regime.
In boxing, a mouthpiece is a guard protecting the teeth.
