hmmm (I didn't read the other posts, so here probably goes more of the same):

I try not to think so much about using more air...I try to put my air to its most efficient use.

First of all, if you aren't physically/emotionally/mentally comfortable, you probably won't solve this problem. The first thing to do is to "chill".

Think about being bored or tired, and... yawn. (You can "make" yourself really yawn, can't you?...[A few can't.]) That feeling in your chest and the back of your throat that occurs when you yawn - that really relaxing intake of tons of air - is what you want to be able to do to play loud or long passages, in my opinion.

I hope you achieve what you wish to achieve.
