Am I supporting correctly?

I am currently trying to use the diaphragm and support better. I googling "tenor range" it says it typically is from C3 to C5. I don't understand how the note C3 can be sung in a clear manner. I can barely reach it but pronunciation becomes difficult. Is it always unclear what is being sung when singing low notes or do I just need to practice lower notes more?

In this clip I am singing in the range from G3 to E5. I have difficulties reaching the higher notes. Is it possible to reach something like E5 with a less screamy sound? (I have seen Pavarotti talking about "covering" notes I suspect this is how). Any other feedback is welcomed

Feedback on Big Band arrangement

Video with score and music: https://youtu.be/6y2DOpnzEPc

I have written a big band arrangement for my song "Hjertets sti". This is my first time writing a Big Band arrangement.

I would like feedback on the writing for the brass instruments. I am not very comfortable with writing for brass instruments. I have a hard time distinguishing the sound between a sax, trumpet and trombone in terms of timbre. I also tried to use correct slurring and articulations

My goal is to be able to give the parts and the score to a professional orchestra and they would be able to play it as fast as possible without complications

How to fix weak and airy singing above G4?

I am somewhat satisfied with the lower register of my voice, up to about G4. But when I have to sing higher pitches I think my voice sounds too airy and weak? Why does this happen and how can I prevent it? Also any other feedback on the voice (or the music) would be appreciated

I don't know where to slur

I am currently trying to get better at adding articulations in orchestral pieces. In this piece I specifically tried to add slurs for the strings and winds. I am very familiar with the concept of phrasing but I am unsure where to add slurs for strings and winds because I am not familiar with the instruments. I would like feedback on my use of slurs in the piece. Any other thoughts about the piece or feedback is also welcomed

Is my score human-readable?

I would like feedback on how humanreadable the sheet music is for this piece. I usually write the sheet music with the goal of having good MuseScore playback, but this time I have tried to make sheet music that is nice to read for humans. What do you think?

Also feedback in general is welcomed and thoughts about the music
