There are many ways to improve the sound of your playing, but if you actually want to improve the sound of the guitar itself you must first assess what improvement you're after.

To maximize the inherent tonality of any guitar you can at least start by making sure the action isn't too high/low and particularly that the nut is cut low enough. It's a common problem that makers don't spend the time to fine tune the nut and generally leave them high, which can make a very noticeable improvement in general tonality.

Then there's strings - make sure you're using ones that will give a tonality you're after. Light strings may be easier to play on, but can sound thin and weak.

My personal preference is lighter strings on top, heavier on bottom, which gives much more support to your tone. Very important if you're playing by yourself.

What Causes the sound of a guitar to get louder as it is played?

The sound of a guitar gets louder as it is played primarily due to the increased vibration of the strings and the resonance of the guitar body. As the player strums or picks the strings with more force, they vibrate more intensely, generating greater sound waves. Additionally, the guitar's body amplifies these vibrations, enhancing the overall volume. This combination of increased string energy and body resonance contributes to the perception of a louder sound during play.
