Well, on-camera flash tends to look pretty terrible when it is pointed directly at the subject. (Think deer in headlights) Direction of light matters more than diffusing, but diffusing is useful.
So first, you want to address light direction:

Once you get the hang of light direction, you can add "modifiers" like diffusers to the front of the flash to soften the light or direct it.
I would experiment with bounce flash first with the built-in flash. Note that bounce flash becomes ineffective in places with high ceilings like hotel lobbies/atriums.
Once you are ready to buy a flash, I recommend the Godox TT865S which supports Sony TTL and HSS for about $119. It can mount in the hotshoe for bouncing at much higher power than the built-in flash. It can also be used as a off-camera triggered flash with the Godox X1T-S transmitter. Both of these can be purchased for about $150 total. You can set the power level or flash compensation on the transmitter and put the flash on a stand or hold it out with your hand, or have a friend/assistant hold it to the side of the model, etc.
Here is a amazon link for the Godox TT685S for $119 and includes a softbox diffuser that optionally covers the front of the flash:

Here is the transmitter for $46:

Best of luck!!
Yeah that's the one. For receiver.
They also sell flashes that have built in radios. I have a TT600 and a TT865. They've been solid (not that I use them a ton I guess..)
Also pick your own sellers I just linked randomly.
