I'm not a taper by any means but the wider you float your mud on the joints the easier it is to blend and hide the joint. Most the tapers I see work will typically use a trowel when they apply that first coat of mud over there tapes.
Saying that good for you for taking it on, taping isn't an easy thing to do.
