For a small booth, I'd just use standard 2x4 framing, with 2 layers of sheetrock on the OUTSIDE of the booth. This way you can finish the outside of the booth to match the room. If you need a LOT of isolation, put green glue between the sheetrock. Make sure it's airtight, and put (at the very least) a solid-core door, with good weatherstripping around it.

Then, put insulation (preferably Ultratouch cotton) between the studs inside the room, and cover it with cloth.

If you do this (ie, put a lot of absorption in the booth) then you don't really need to splay the walls, as the absorption will kill the flutter echo.
