Overtones are not altissimo notes, which are playing higher notes with odd fingerings and a different embouchure, they are getting a higher note than expected with a different embouchure. An example would be playing a low D and 'lipping up' to play an A.
when playing altissimo register, you are also playing natural overtones, so it's the same. altissimo register says nothing about technique, just about the register you are playing in.
by practicing 'lipping up' (which you really shouldn't do with your lips, but more with your throat) the lower register, you will be much more able in the altissimo register.
To be honest i was a tad disappointed and even though you may not have been playing very long and without a teacher it doesn't really mean you have to try hard things and post them on youtube? Maybe when you're better i'll come back and make some comments on how you're progressing. Just keep up the practice.
Good job! The overtones are the key to saxophone tone. Read about Joe Allard, if you haven't and keep studying them, along with long tones.
I think you might have been playing altissimo, rather than overtones. To do overtones, if you haven't learned them already, you finger a low not, like the low Bb, and use your larynx to move the note up an octave, an octave and a fifth, etc. There is a lot of information, good and bad, about overtones on the web.
Altissimo, not overtones.
But why don't you have a teacher? If you learn everything the wrong way, it's going to take 10 times longer to re learn it the right way.
