Check on both counts. I don't have a tripod, but I put the mic on the backrest of my chair. I even moved the chair a little bit to put the mic exactly where my ugly mug would be.

What else could I have messed up? Hopefully it was my fault, I want to get the most of my investment.
When you say you put the mic on the back rest of the chair is the chair padded like a sofa? this will dramatically change how the mic hears frequencies it must be placed forward and a little bit higher than the back of the chair to work properly.

EDIT: I should also add that placing the mic on a chair is not a good idea as the vibrations from the chair will transmit into the mic causing undesirable results. A cheep camera tripod will cost you less than $8 I recommend getting one.
