Why Is This Important?
The more animation you do, the more you will notice that sound is almost MORE important than animation. Sound covers many animation flaws. You can have poor animation, and great sound and your audience will forgive you. But if you have great animation and poor sound, or if the sound doesn't match the action, the audience will not enjoy your animation.
No amount of cool animation can overcome the effects of bad sound. If you want to entertain your audience, you will do it by having skills with sound.
