Yes, lighting is hugely important. You need to blow or spill some light on the backdrop. Know as well that backdrops come in many colors. A softer grey might work. I prefer muslin over paper because muslin helps reduce sound reflections.

Here's my mottled grey backdrop. I'm exposing for the lighting I have on the guys, so the backdrop looks darker.

Here the same backdrop looks darker.

On this one, I set a small pink/red light behind Teporah to create a little halo on the same back drop.

Here's the same backdrop with more light spilled on the backdrop.
