I have been setting everything on my camera to manual. The white balance, shutter speed, aperture and focus, but I'm still getting a lot of light flicker. Why? 
Are you sitting in the same place, every, single, frame
Yup. At least as close as I can get. 
Are you blocking out all natual light?
Yes. I have all the windows blocked with big, black curtains. 
Are their any reflective bricks that your using?
Yeah. Most of the time, I get flicker when I have white walls or windows. I normally try to avoid those, but white is a pretty common color for a building, and they've gotta have windows. 
Try to move your desk lamps further away from the set, it help a lot from me. Try it. Like 30 cm really... at least!
You should also cover your laps with paper.

I tried that, but it just gave off an annoying orange tint.

it does that to me to
The baking paper I put over my lamps doesn't give it an orange tint. Try lowering your white balance.
I've never heard of putting baking paper over it, I just use ordinary paper. I'll have to give that a try sometime.
I tried lowering and brightening my white balance. I still got the tint. BTW what kind of lamps do you people use? 
I use regular desk lamps.
I think you should use full-spectrum/natural day lightbulbs. Regular bulbs gives the light a yellow tint.
What camera do you use? If it's a webcam it may have autofocus, and that can cause light flicker.
I use a Samsung HZ30W.
