Mini Sound Booth

So, not really happy with my voice recordings so far and as such, I've been looking at ways to help with the filtering of sound and noise. A lot of the equipment is very expensive, so finding a cheaper alternative is the better option.
Then I came across this video and so I've decided to give it a shot. Given that it is American, there is a price difference. Still, it was possible to get most of this for around $50 AU, though only the egg crate style was available (though it does look somewhat similar to that of acoustic foam, which is used for sound recording and is $50 AU just for a 50cm x 50cm square).

It has been build and am waiting for it to dry before giving it a test shot later tonight when everything's quiet (as I do live right near a school).
 Of course, there are a few loose ends and the edges are poorly done, but that can easily be fixed via a trip to the local hardware store. Can't wait to test this out.

Update: 26/03/14: This thing actually works fairly well. I have notice the difference in quality thanks to this little project and while it is a shame that it's taken so long to get my recordings done in time, I'm glad that this project worked out at least.
