: When making any animated show episode, is the voice acting done earlier or the animation?

Question

If the animation is done first, do the actors have to remain strictly to script leaving no room for improv and also have to nail their timing?
And if the acting is done first, how do they time it? Do they have to do it blindly, only by imagination?

Answer 1

Check out the South Park documentary on HBO, it’s funny and show you how they make a single show in just 6 days. They show the process of voice acting and syncing with the animation.
