How can I add more line to my beamer presentation title side?

Question

MY title page looks like this now:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}

\title{The title}

\author{The author}   

\date{\today}

\frame{\titlepage}

\end{document}

I want to add one more line, and I don't know how to do it. I found the \institute command, but it is not suited for me.

Without redefining the template, \titlegraphic{One more line} might suit. — TonioElGringo, Jun 22 '15 at 11:06
It uses smaller font and I want to write there my consultant's name — Great, Jun 22 '15 at 12:09
You can change the fontsize of the institute with \setbeamerfont{institute}{size=\normalsize}. — Benjamin, Jun 22 '15 at 12:29
As the line you want to add kind of belongs to the author you could also do something like that: \author{The author\\The Consultant} — Benjamin, Jun 22 '15 at 12:32
Of course, you don't HAVE to use \maketitle. You could just format the slide yourself. — John Kormylo, Jun 22 '15 at 22:41
@Benjamin It sounds like your comments solved the problem. Is it possible to convert them into an answer to remove the question from the list of unanswered? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jan 02 '16 at 19:43

There are multiple ways to add an additional line with a consultant to the title page.

You can add a line break inside of the \author{•} macro with an additional space. As a consultant in a sense belongs to the author I would prefer this way.

\author{The author\\[0.5em]The Consultant}

If you don't need an institute on the title page, you can also use the \institute{•} macro (or any other field you don't need) and adjust the font size if desired.

\institute{The Consultant}
\setbeamerfont{institute}{size=\normalsize}

And if these simple ways still do not satisfy your needs you can always redefine your title page as described here.
