What kind of/how much treatment would I need for spoken voice recording in this room?

[charles b]

I need to record one or two spoken voices, perhaps simultaneously, and get a clear/dry recording. I'm trying to figure out what I would need to do to treat a room the following size, with the following characteristics:

11.5'x10.5x10'. 3 doors, 1 window and 1 heating radiator. Stucco walls and carpeting.

What kind of treatment would I need? How much would I need? Where should I place it? Any idea of costs? Should I buy professionally made treatment, or would OC 703/705 or something else cheaper do the job?

I've also got the option of a slightly larger room (12'x15'10'), also with carpeting, stucco walls, 1 heating radiator and 3 doors, but it also has 3 windows (2 facing a somewhat busy street that can be heard). The top 3 feet of the ceiling are also arched.

Thanks in advance for your input!

If it's purely speech, just buy/build some tall gobos to pull around the performers. Those will do the job for you. The room is plenty big for what you're wanting to do.

Gobos something around 6' high and maybe 2' or wider - use say 5 of them around the performers.

What is a gobo?

Pretty much a movable panel. Something like our screen panel.
