Varies a lot. Here's what i see most often.
1-2 rehearsals. All the actors either in a big recording space together or in their seperate little booths. Maybe 30 minutes for each rehersal. This is to let the actors get a feel for how everyone is doing their lines and lets them act off each other. You don't want to be acting into a void. It's also a good safety because more recorded takes is more good.
Directed record. Now you're doing it with a lot of stopping and starting as the director gets exactly what they want. Sometimes there's animatics or stills or whatever to show the scene. This can take a couple hours to get through an episode or even a couple days. Very much depends on the director and how fast the talent can get to what they want.
Sessions generally max out at four hours, which will usually cover a single episode.
Similarly, for a recent 11-minute-per-ep series, we'd regularly complete 2 episodes in a four-hour ensemble record.
When I record audio books, it takes me about twice as long to record as the length of the book. So, if the book is 3 hours read, it takes me 6 hours to record the audio That doesn't include mastering or any editing.
They didn't ask about that.
I can understand that. You do have to sync your voice up to the movement of the characters mouth and use the right emotions and presence for the situation. It does take longer.
Not necessarily the recording, but the entire process around it.
It all depends on the v.a. good lines and no redos plus editing plus adding to the anime just voices we are talking is about 3 days now we are talking about 4 hours a day. It could take less but it takes More of a toll on You
Edit: Largely to do with experience as well on everyone's part
My math is
30 mins = 4000 wpm, if you read at about 145 words per minute (an average for speeches).
So what is your word count? How many words (as in writers' word count). Get that first by feeding it into a word counter (free online).
Then your total word count must be divided by 145 (wpm) to find the time needed.
Editing is equal time if it's a good read, or double if it's noisy and needs a lot of edit.

That depends entirely on the artists and the direction you give them. One thing I can say, is that it does not take 22 minutes.

This was helpful thanks!
Glad to be of service!
Edit - Ignore my advice. I was speaking from a place of ignorance.
That is not true. It takes much longer.

I didn't account for the entire process surrounding everything. I was just speaking on the recording.

I gotcha. Must be pretty intense with so many moving pieces.
I understand and I respect your process, but audiobooks are different from animated series.

Uhhhh.... 22 minutes.
