Clarinet Voicing

Hi everyone. I want to ask which vowels do you think at, when voicing.
I've always played by thinking to an italian 'i' vowel, and I've always been fine with it (I imagine a closed 'i', which gives me much more projection) but today I decided to try something different and put lips forward, like when saying the letter 'q' or like if I was kissing the instrument.
There are many people who use this kind of approach, lile this guy for example:

They have a very good sound, but when I try to apply this voicing, my sound sounds like it's losing projection, it s more metallic. So, whqt could I be doing wrong? Does anyone od you think about putting lips more fprward when playing?
