I've done that before and yes, it works surprisingly well.

Every time I've tried that, it sounds like a recording done in a car. Better than outside, but hardly as good as a good studio.

I tried recording a VO in a car with a client and it was going well till the cops pulled me over.

If you wish to build something ordinary foam acoustic tiles from the home recording specialists work very well On a simple timber frame with open out hinges, they're cost effective - but even duvets can do pretty amazing things stopping hard surfaced rooms sounding boxy.
