I found that my sound really rounded off when my throat was perfectly
relaxed. Lawrence McDonald, at Oberlin, came to my school and gave a
masterclass and said to take a pipe and rubberband a plastic bag over the end
and take big silent breaths into the bag over and over again...this will get
your air going and give you a big dark sound. To focus your sound, act like
you are squirting air through a tiny straw instead of blowing into your
mouthpiece...these are just some things that have helped me.
