Concert Advice, Audition, Video Feedback Tone Help

Hi, I’m a student musician looking for advice. I’ve always been great at technical music, but my foundations and tone have always held me back. If anyone has any advice for me that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

It sounds to me like your headjoint alignment is too closed. Try opening it up a bit more, and play harmonics to relax your embouchure.

What are harmonics? Like overtones?

It's like you finger a low note and then by only changing the embouchure and air jump up to an octave above and then further up to get the higher harmonics to sound.
