Vocal Booth

So I'm almost done with the construction of my 3 ft. x 4 ft. vocal booth, and am in need of some tips on the sound foam application to make sure I get the best possible sound. I'll be using a Rode NTK with an UA LA-610. Any advice is much appreciated.

:horse: So little info- so little time

This booth will be used for vocals only. I suppose I can record instruments, but I work with outside producers and just add vocals to music tracks recorded elsewhere. Is there any other info I can provide?

Oh yeah, and I will be mixing the tracks in another studio also. My home studio is only used for recording vocals.

Anyone?

Please read and follow the rules before posting here. How big is it? how high is it? What is it made of? How does it sound now? blah blah

The sound foam application, if even required, is closer to the bottom of the list then the top for best possible sound. You have what looks like some framing and siding with far too many holes in it :) As lilith_envy already stated, without much specifications to go on, you leave us with too much of our own imagination...

Right now it's just a 3' x 4' frame with 1/4 inch thick plywood covering the outside. The inside is just frame with no foam or treatment. Here's a picture of the frame so you can get an idea. From here forward, I'll be reaching out for as much information as possible to make the sound inside the best it can be. Right now it just sounds like an empty box. I haven't hooked a mic up in it yet. If there's any other info I can give on it, just let me know. I really appreciate the help.

I'm thinking of lining the inside with hard 1 1/2 inch foam, or fiberglass insulation, and coving it with either soundboard or plywood, then adding my auralex sound foam. Again this is for vocals only. Is this more complex than I thought it would be?

It isn't that complicated. But it isn't something a person will simply "think" up and it will work. It is like building a room, only it is much smaller. So anything that would be uncalled for in an actual room would also be uncalled for in a voice booth. vocal+booth+build

Why did you build it? It make your vocal recordings sound better? Or to save embrassment when your mum walks past but you can't hear cause your wearing head phones? I would assume parallel walls aren't so good in vocal booths either. Is there room to put wooden slates over the "foam" A totally dead booth might work for radio ads, thats what you will get if you cover all the walls with auralex. It just looks small to me. Also is there going to be glass in those holes?
