As per title, they should have right? Else how do they know what tone, volume and emotion to set for their characters?

Generally, no. Voice actors typically go into each recording session without animation references. The exception to this is dubbing, when actors are given very specific cues in the recording session about how to deliver each line so it fits with the existing animation.
In post-production, actors will often do a process called ADR, that is another exception. This is usually not for recording lines of dialogue in animation, but it is most often used for things like non-dialogue vocals. So, if a character gets hit in a fight scene, the actor will record the “ooof” or “aghh” after the scene is animated so that they can match the intensity and energy of each animated hit to the vocals.
In some cases, ADR is also done for live action to re-record dialogue that sounded good on-set, but that may not have been recorded properly for any number of reasons.
