I have been in your situation before and what helped me was to listen to as many good tuba recordings as I could. There are many recordings available from places like amazon.com, CDNow, and TAP mucic online, to name a few.
Buzzing on your mouthpiece, without the horn, with as good a sound as you can get, can definitely help solidify your sound.
Also, try recording yourself playing. Tape/CD/minidisc don't lie about your sound!
From my experience,
