If you're using a spare room for the video, make sure you have a neatly maintained background.

A great alternative would be to have a window, you can always use natural lighting as well.
In the event, you can't yet afford a lighting set. You can move your shoot location outdoors. The best time is early morning and evening, it's also known as the golden hour by professional photographers and videographers.
For Audio, you should definitely buy a microphone to capture audio with great clarity.
Make sure, there are no background noises, for this very reason a microphone is helpful. You can also do simple sound-proofing to your room, all you have to do is hang out a few towels around the room.
