Why does my pronunciation of 'გვფრცქვნი' sound like I'm choking?

I’ve been recording myself daily to nail these massive consonant clusters, but I still sound like I'm having a medical emergency when I hit the 'gvp' start of words. Is there a trick to positioning the tongue for these back-to-back voiceless sounds, or am I just over-articulating? I’m looking for tips on how to soften these without losing the integrity of the Georgian script sounds.
