While this is true, not every show do this and note that are being special cases reserved for some important characters not for every one that appear on a certain show. This is the part where audition or Sound Director takes over the job for selecting the actors for mob characters or the unimportant ones (assuming that character doesn't have actor appointed for that role yet).
As of why Sound Director for this, people who work on this position usually are somebody who have connection with Seiyuu Agencies.
