To get a soft look, you can use:
You'll still want at least a key light and a fill light -- that is, one light source that is the primary light source for your subjects, and another light source to one side that emphasizes that side of each actor (or object).
You can also add "warmth" in post production by color-correcting towards red or orange.
I've seen folks get very nice looks in close quarters using white spherical "Chinese lantern" diffusers.
