As RD said the Helleberg style(flat/sharp edge) rim will help if you are comfortable with those characteristics. I think it restricts movement of the embouchure to help the attacks occur more quickly and crisply. The other approach, by the German/Bach style mpc's is to make the throat tighter to give more resistance to the airflow and therefore give some ease in articulation. Whichever style suits you and your horn's response is a matter of choice and experimentation. However, the best results usually come with PRACTICE.
