Try to make the closet as "dead" sounding as possible. The less "reverb/echo" being recorded the better. Put heavy cloth on all surfaces. Levels topping off at -3 is good.
DIY pop screen for free = take the "speaker guard" off your stereo's speaker and hold or fasten that between your voice and the recording device. A pantyhose based device will work too but I find it affects the quality of the source more (and when you think about the speaker guard's purpose in life that sort of makes sense). If your speaker doesn't have a guard try the old ones at the thrift store. They will sell you a busted speaker for next to nothing. But the best pop screen really = no pop screen. If you deaden the closet you wouldn't need to put the mic right in front of your mouth and it would still sound dope (and no pops).
Happy recording!!!
