Beginner's question about room acoustics for spoken word

Minimal soundproofing calls for deadening opposing surfaces. Floor, North Wall and West Wall for example. That will do an amazing job of killing the worst echoes. It will still be a “live” room, but it won’t have that Kitchen or Bathroom sound.

There are methods of cheaply sound proofing tiny locations, but your job description calls for a “studio,” not a box you stick your head into.

You can do very well with Furniture Moving Pads.

You can do that with plastic pipes, too.

This is the plan for a kitchen table sound studio. Modest size is relatively easy. Trying to soundproof a room can be challenging.
