Mic Placement in Vocal Booth

I have a square vocal booth 6'8" by 5'5" with a 7' dropped ceiling. There is a double glass pane along the west wall, one of the 6'8" walls, which measures 6' by 3'. The room is currently covered in all acoustic tile with a carpeted floor. I am planning on using MarkerTek foam (like Auralex) over the tiling, and possibly over half the window which I can't see from my conrtol room anyways.

2 questions I have. First, any thoughts on the treatment I am planning for this room. Second, what would be the optimum positioning and direction, in your opinion, for vocal recording in this room?

Thanks,
H2H

sjoko2 is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm wondering why you want to cover stuff in foam - if its covered in acoustic tile already?
I think you, d be better of getting a couple of floor to ceiling strips of thin ply, and fit them in the corners (with glasswool or rockwool glued to the back), to make the room less square.

Mic should face away from the window

I think I may be using the term "Acoustic tile" too loosely. I was TOLD that's what it was, but it doesn't seem to be a very dead room. I worked in a vocal booth earlier this summer that was comlpetely covered in auralex, and I loved the deadness of the room, my ears popped when the door was shut. That's what I'm trying to re-create.

Thanks for the point about the corners, I am going to do what you said this week some time. And I figured that away from the glass would be the best, I just wasn't sure if I would get unwanted reflections back from it or not.

Thanks!
