In addition to everything that I mention in the video: The sound-hole projects the sound from inside the ukulele. The sound inside the ukulele comes from the the wood vibrating. Be careful not to inhibit that vibration.

I know. Other instructors teach the opposite of what I teach here and elsewhere.
For example: #2 (resting the fingers on the instrument for fingerstyle playing) is something I used to do myself, even as a guitarist any years ago, I was instructed to do so too by teachers!
It wasn't until I studied classical guitar that I discovered it really was easier to NOT put those fingers on the instrument (Classical teachers would not let me do it - I was forced). I found that my hand was more relaxed and for a complicated classical piece it really helped!
So I ask you to - even though you'e been told to do different - just try it and see if it helps.
I have personally made all of the mistakes I caution you not to make in my videos, that's how I found out they were mistakes. I even had hand and wrist problems as a result of some of the mistakes I've made.
