If you're going for a condenser I'd, actually put the room treatment BEFORE the mic.
If you have a crappy room, I recommend either treating it first, or using a '57. That mic sounds.. ok.. Not spectacular, but OK.. But most importantly, if you sing relatively close to it, it won't pick up the crappy reflections.
a 57 in a crappy room will sound better than a newmann in a crappy room loaded with unwanted reflections.
Of course, I totally agree with the singer being the most important thing. gotta preach for your church
check out chineses sites for sound treating foam.. it's insanely cheap
