Re: How do some players make their sound carry, though they have a smallish tone?

Sorry, yes I should've clarified that Marcellus was pretty dark, but by no means did he have a big tone either. His tone was still rather small, from what I've heard, but then became huge as you went to the back of the hall.

Yes, overtones and core is the key to projection and I find that a small tone is what gives me a myriad of those two things.

I use to control my overtones and core with my embouchure, however not anymore. My teeth are a little... not standard (I have an underbite.) So I end up pulling my bottom jaw back and using my air and tongue positioning/voicing instead to help control those things, but my air is my main focus since it will usually correct my tongue position/voicing.
