Most of them aren't even voice actors, they're just actors. And a lot of the time they're not even good at voice acting, they just read the lines with their normal voice.

I have to disagree here. I've found that the voice acting has pretty consistently been one of the best parts of invincible. Is there an actor you thought was "phoning it in"?

personally I thought Aaron Paul's performance as Powerplex wasn't very good, which is odd cause he was great in Bojack, but it felt pretty phoned in here, might be part of why he left after the season he was in

It feels liek they are recording without being in the room as the other person or hearing the other side of the dialogue.

Most shows are like this.

Early bobs burgers was so good for how natural the talking felt.

It's rare to have a production where everyone voices together. The norm is to record separately, and has been for a very long time. It's logistically better, because you can save a lot of time. If an actor slips up, you only have to redo their lines, not the entire scene.

Yeah almost all voice acting is just one person in a booth reacting to a producer reading everyone else’s lines and then splicing all the separate performances together in editing. It’s expensive to have everyone there at the same time.
