But back to the original request: Are you looking at a portable sound booth because the environment is just too noisy? Or do you merely need to tame a not-too-bad environment, which can be done by moving equipment on the other sides of walls or putting them in enclosures, a few sound deadening panels to knock down the liveliness of a room, and maybe a mic screen like the Mud Guard to cut down further on off-axis noise and reflections?

What are your VO needs, and in what kind of environment will you be recording?   You might not need anything any more complicated than something like this:

http://voiceoveressentials.com/content/portaboothArticle.htm

There are several versions of this concept available.

And there are also several microphones that record voice very well, and reject off-axis sounds, so that you don't need a perfect environment to record in.  Shure SM7 and an Electro Voice RE20 are de facto standards in radio stations throughout the world in rooms with computer monitors and less than perfect acoustics.  They're also dynamic mics, which mean they don't need phantom power, and are less prone to plosive overloads.
