 Air is not focused/centered
Author: suavkue 
Date:   2010-10-23 14:09

My professor described to me that my air tends to "spread," making my tone not as resonant as it could be. How can I solve this? I've tried the following:

1) Blowing through a straw
2) Blowing through (other) small, circular objects
3) Saying "ooh" or "oh" or "go."

None of these tricks have worked so far - is there anything else I could do?

EDIT: If it helps at all, I recently switched to double lip, but it's sturdy; however, the airflow was also like this when I was using single lip.
