I don't think the dialogues were written after the actors were hired if that's what you mean. Unless you mean changing small details while recording.

Anyway, I believe that big part in having good voice acting is to have a good voice director who knows how each line is supposed to sound like and knows how to make the actor understand that. It's possible that most of the time having a good director is more important than having a good voice actor.
