One saying I've heard is, "Twice the air, half the volume." Putting more air through the mouthpiece while playing generally seems to sweeten up my sound quite a bit.

That and make sure that you don't pinch the emouchure too much. To 'unlearn' pinching the embouchure, I would take my right hand thumb and jam the mouthpiece up into my upper teeth (with a patch on). Seemed to keep me from biting down. Now it's become second nature.

Retired, playing more sax than clarinet, but still playing clarinet and still loving it!
