As I work more on overtones and shaping my sound with my oral cavity and throat I'm pondering a question.
Often I'm feeling that to match the overtone, it takes adjustments in the back of my throat and oral cavity (usually expanding it/making it bigger). It results in what I perceive as a better sound, however I'm wondering if this a natural way to play as it must create tension since that is not my natural state. And I've heard that tension is bad.
I'm really trying to get into Getz ballads on tenor right now so that's what I'm referencing as sound concept.
Any advice here?
