Creativity Quote by Robert Goulet

There is something almost defiant in Goulet framing singing as an all-body act, not a pretty sound squeezed out of the face. “Full-on” is telling: it’s the language of commitment, of going past tasteful restraint into a kind of athletic surrender. He’s not selling mystique or “natural talent.” He’s describing a technique that looks like abandon but is built on control.

The anatomy matters. “I open my throat” is both literal craft and a small manifesto against the tight, guarded vocal habits that come from fear, self-consciousness, and the desire to sound “cool.” Opening the throat is the opposite of clenching; it’s permission. Then “let it fly out” shifts the metaphor from mechanics to release, from studio polish to the high-wire thrill of projection. The subtext: the voice isn’t a delicate ornament, it’s a force you have to allow, even risk.

Context sharpens it. Goulet came up in an era when big, unamplified voices carried rooms and Broadway masculinity was built on presence. His phrasing pushes back against the modern temptation to under-sing for intimacy or irony. It’s also an actor’s note: the body is the instrument, and the performance is physical truth, not just pitch. Goulet makes vulnerability sound like power - because to “let it fly” is to be heard without flinching.
