And here's a pretty cool way to minimize the effect of a poor room - sing into a closet.

Singing into the closet is a good one - in a desperate situation once, I put a mattress against the wall and had the singer face it. I recommend using a "clean" one to avoid grossing out the artist.

Actually, while this certainly works, you might want to try standing inside the area in which you are now placing the mic and sing out towards the mic; face the mic towards the closet, or just inside. In short, reverse the current setup. This will, for the most part, attenuate any of those "nasty" reflections, but maintain enough of a live/reflective sound without the bad reflections. This is assuming you are using a cardioid setting on your mic. I've done both. Try it.

This is the way I set up my mics for most vocal sessions. It is easy to do and takes very little time to adjust.
