Pressure is something that may be needed if you dont have the right equipment or have a very big appeture. If you play with a big appeture and are trying to play loud with a deep round cup, your gonna get a ton of resistance and will need some pressure to keep it in. Not a ton of pressure, but just enough to keep the air from escaping. over blowing will kill you alot faster because you are trying to keep your embouchure tight with a ton of resistance. If anything, I'd listen to what Manny says because he gets a marvoulous tone and sound in any register I've ever heard him in.
