Voice recording must be hard when done in the rain when filming. The sounds of the water can overpower the voice and hinder the actors/actresses from getting the message across to their audience. Is there any audio equipment designed for when doing production in the rain?

I think your best bet would be to get underneath something that will gently break the rain's trajectory, like a leafy tree. Unless there's a torrential downpour, you should be okay.

It's been a while since I've tried it, but I remember using plastic bags and tarps. I was more worried about protecting my equipment than the sound quality, though.

They can always dub in the vocals, and probably do for too much noise interference.

Yeah, the safety of the equipment matters more than the sound quality simply because you can regret making the videos if water penetrates the devices which can lead to big damage. So, it is always important to take note of that when filming in the rain.
