A lighting tip: Use bounce flash, with the flash head pointing behind you (if there's a white wall) or up and behind you (to reach the ceiling). That should give you nice, even light without the variability of existing light, or a tripod.

good point, do you put the flash behind you on a stand, then?

No, leave it on the camera, but point the flash head either up or behind you, depending on whether the ceiling or the wall is the best surface to reflect off of. Wall is better, but only if its white.

This is assuming you're using a flash that's capable of bounce, such as a 430EX or 580EX.
