* part 4 of this series discusses WHY we practice overtones
@SekiToni Absoultely. The majority of pitch adjustments happens with your "vocal mechanism" (as described in these vids). So, by developing control here (via practicing overtones), you'll be able to better control your tuning.
Of course, ultimately, tuning is mostly a matter of *hearing* in tune, and being able to blend in BY EAR to the sounds around you. The BEST way to develop your ears is to learn music by ear from recordings.
Good luck!
