Try bouncing your flash in a sheet of paper to the side of the subject (so light doesn't spill too much onto your BG) and make sure you background's far away behind (so light falloff helps getting it as dark as possible).

Unnatural expressions work against 1 (cheese) and 3 (sad panda). You're losing quite a bit of face detail on 2, but I like it otherwise. Might have been your intention, but you may want to pay attention to your level relative to the subject, and to what you're cropping.

I dunno if a lighting setup that dramatic really serves the subject. I mean it'd work deliciously on a palpatine kind of character, but an HR consultant?

It looks like you've pushed the right side of her face too far (not much detail left, and the left side's bright enough, so I'd tune it down a notch). Also you've got pretty obvious exposure-adjustment halo's around the jacket. This is really the kind of picture where bringing to some light along makes post 200% easier.

Not blowing them out in the first place would help (turn on the blinkies!), but yeah once it's done there's not much you can get out of them.

Have them step away from the backdrop so you can light it independently (and throw it OOF if you like).
