I once set up a pair of 2' x 4' gobos I built on mic stands in a V shape and put the mic in between them and sang into it. I thought the sound was great, but everyone who heard the recording (including my family) said that the vocals did not fit with the music and sounded like they were in a different place. I don't think the gobos were the only contributing problem, but who knows. something like that might work for you. especially if the syle of music has all of the other instruments going direct; like hiphop or dance or something (I am just guessing here). I still love the sound from when I had no treatment and was using a close mic and a room mic on vocals, but that sounded more "creative" than "professional". Now I just record in the control room which has treatment on the walls. seems to be a happy medium....its nice to have options though. the way we used to do it was to just put up a bed matress against the wall and have the singer face that. sounded as professional as anything.
