In addition to what I said, Karl has a really good point, the setup of the clarinet for your level, whatever it may be, has a lot to do with how you sound. Biting can be remedied by a harder reed, though, it's not the best solution, that should just be fixed without changing reed strength. It's important to look at your mouthpiece and measure the opening in millimeters because sometimes, it can be too close or too far from the reed. If the mouthpiece is the problem, my guess is that it's too close. Check that as well as what I suggested.
