Quick reply...
- Breath deeper, try to develop deep relaxed inhalation before exhaling with the air pushing from deep in your stomach (yes, I KNOW there "is no diapham muscle" etc, but the stomach breathing thing actually works).
- control your air speed (ie, developing FAST air) using your tongue and embouchure, NOT your throat.
- breath in, breath out "aaaaaaahhhhhhh". Feel how open and relaxed your throat is? Play that way (still try to focus the air, but with tongue position, NOT with a tight throat)
These three directions will go a long way toward "deepening" your sound, but you still need to be aware of focusing your air for a ringing tone, as one without the other only spells trouble.
