I have accidentally discovered this very thing a couple of weeks ago and it has made all the difference in world. It was discovered out of necessity, because, no matter how much of a warm up I get to do. I Remembrance Day gigs where I have to sit between one to 3 hours before I have to stand and play. I had the exact same feeling of the mouthpiece being too big when I plant to play. It would mess me up bad and I would struggle. I re-learned how to form my embouchure exactly as you demonstrated, and it has allowed me to perform even though I feel as if I am coming in completely cold. This has been a life saver.
I’m eager to try it out. Lately I’ve had issues with that kind of thing. Where I can’t loosen up good enough. It’s a real tight feeling. It can be very frustrating. Appreciate your videos. Thanks !!

That's great to hear that someone else is also finding success with this.
