Your face is always in shadow because you're only source of light is above and behind your head. Ideally you want to have multiple lights around where your camera is (as in beside, above and/or below) pointed at you, but also a couple lights pointed at your background. BAM, no more shadows!  MOAR LIGHT = LESS SHADOWS!!! |

Alternatively, you could go pick up a few bendable desk lamps and some large halogen bulbs (like they use for those big lights on the outside of houses but they have the same threads as a normal sized lightbulb) and you'll be good. |

I have one of those floodlights and then some lamps... and the big overhead light, and the window in front of me... Lighting is not an issue for me  |

Pretty much all other suggestions.
I just want to say when you shoot your videos, you should get into position, wait a little, then start. Then wait a second after you end before moving to turn the camera off. That way, the video clips flow and don't show you reaching for the camera.
