We did this soundproofing thing to death a while back and I saved it.

You don’t need a studio to make a recording. People make good recordings in difficult circumstances all the time, but not on a budget.
If that’s a Sennheiser shotgun, it goes for about $1000 usd, not counting low noise field mixer and recorder. That works out to about $2000 (not counting the camera). Sign here.
Most people find PVC pipes, moving quilts and clothespins a lot more economical. I can’t stress enough the value of a quiet room. It’s the difference between simple volume corrections to your chapter and you’re done, and painful filters, corrections, effects and adjustments. ACX has a quality failure they call “Overprocessing.” You can’t beat up your faulty recording in post production and have it sound good. Or worse, you may be able to do it three out of five times. The other two, you read again. Wouldn’t that be fun?
If no other good reason, if you do this enough, you will spend a significant amount of time in post production instead of planning your next show.
