: 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

I highly recommend watching videos of Justin Roiland doing voice takes for Rick and Morty. The best is when they get him real drunk so he can sound even drunker than normal Rick.
