noun
booth
BOOTH/buːθ/
A small partly enclosed space reserved for a particular use.
The glass telephone booth encloses a small seat and private calling space.
Etymology
The “temporary dwelling” became a temporary structure, especially a stall selling goods or food at a fair. This connects the older shelter with today’s small space set aside for a particular activity.
In context
Because I think when you look at voice actors in the booth as well, there's so many hand gestures and you really have to learn to act and get into character without that much space to actually run around
