I think good advice for recording vocals in a less-than-desireable room (and in most other rooms too) would be to try to keep the room out of it! A lot of times, even if I'm in onna the best sounding rooms ever made, I'll still set up baffles around the mic/vocalist. More times than not, vocals should be close and intimite, and the room doesn't need to be a part of that. Reverb can be added later.
