The Disembodied Voice will be in her Trailer...

For movies such as MOON and HER, where the second lead is an entirely disembodied Voice, how did the Director handle the production side of it where the other lead's performance was concerned? (And yes I know about Samantha Morton being vocally-replaced by ScarJo after production was over-- but how was Samantha's work recorded then with regards to shooting Joaquin's scenes?)

In general, does the Director have a stand-in read for the part during production so the actor can have someone to play against? Or is the Voice part pre-recorded in a studio before production and played over speaker for the lead actor to interact with during his scenes? Or was (Kevin Spacey for example) actually on set reading his lines off-camera in order to help Sam Rockwell's performance?

It seems like the latter would be prohibitively expensive re: the number of shooting days for a big star, who could otherwise record his or her scenes in just a couple days at a recording studio.

I would love any info on the process, for these and for similar movies -- thanks!
