Dear Mr. West (and everyone else who is willing to offer advice),
I have encountered the same issue. I find myself blowing with all my
might to be heard and find that my sound still seems unsupported. I do
not often listen to recordings of my own playing, but a few recordings of
my solos with a mezzo forte band behind them I am unhappy with. I'd like
to be heard over a true decent, full ensemble forte at least; I also
would like to keep a dark tone color and not get too brassy (bright would
probably be a better word), spead and unfocused. How do you accomplish
this? Please tell me if you do any exercises that help your sound, or if
it's simply your sitting or horn position.
Thank you,
Brittany Davies, Fort Myers, Florida
