Terms EMI arranged for speechless actor (8)

I believe the answer is:
mimester
'speechless actor' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'terms emi arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator (letters rearranged).
'terms'+'emi'='termsemi'
'termsemi' is an anagram of 'MIMESTER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for mimester that I've seen is " One who pretends to sing".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
