Bass Clarinet Voicing Issues?

Author: SoundWeebJay

Hey folks! Hopefully this hasn't been asked before (I attempted to do my research before hand...)

So I've been playing Bass Clarinet for almost 3 years now, not very consistently, save for maybe the past 6 months or so. (I've also played Clarinet for about 8 years now). Here's my ordeal:

A lot of people seem to have issues with higher notes, but my issue is actually the lower register of Bass Clarinet. Most of the time, notes come out well, but sometimes, depending on how I attack the note (typically for staccato) I get a partial jump/honk. From what I've gathered from other Youtube videos I have watched, I have been led to believe this is a voicing issue...But I would like opinions and ideas, as this only seems to happen from about B 2 and lower... I'm fairly certain the instrument is in decent condition, as it plays fairly well aside from this little hiccup.

If this does happen to be my embouchure, what can I do to help adjust it?
