 About Voice for a Choice!

Bera touches listeners' hearts and minds with a breakthrough music CD filled with passion and love for animals and mankind. With a voice reminiscent of Aretha Franklin and Barbra Streisand, she sings ballads, jazz, gospel, Broadway, blues and more to encourage joy and positive vibes for our planet.

 

Voice for a Choice! was nominated for 8 of the recording industry's highest awards, including best Gospel Performance, because of its great musical, lyrical and spiritual import. This CD contains an unusual latitude of styles from one cut to the next, yet each song is artistic and meaningful. Having performed for 45 years with the best-of-the-best musicians, I can easily say this CD is a worthwhile musical collection of superior quality."

 

Be transported with the rest of us who have heard Voice for a Choice. You'll be glad you made this choice.

5 out of 5 stars Brings tears to my eyes...
Reviewer: Nora Constantine
I've heard her sing a thousand times, and I still have to play this CD every day for a jolt of positive energy. Great voice; great music; great arrangements. And she does it all to help raise funds for animal rescue groups and to increase awareness about these constantly ongoing rescue efforts. Very worthwhile cause to support.

Reviewer: Katie Martinez
It’s not everyday you hear a voice that could calm a troubled spirit and at the same time, inspire the soul. That’s what I feel when I listen to Bera’s newest CD, Voice for a Choice! True-life journeys of the soul are what abound from Bera’s gentle, heartfelt voice, the beautiful piano accompaniment, the back-up vocals, and the marvelous orchestration on this CD. Bera’s songwriting has a solid air and a smooth flow, and the tracks are well written and arranged beautifully to create a seasoned sound. These are songs and stories from the spiritual and heartening journeys of a wonderful individual, and can make a difference in the hearts of many. Voices Calling You is awesome, and her opening song, All Who Enter Here Will Find Love . . . a gem! A great CD all in all – fresh, inspirational and enjoyable!

 About I Have a Choice!

You would be hard-pressed to find a doctor that sings professionally, or a vocalist that sings about health--unless you have been following the incomparable career of Dr. Bera Dordoni. Affectionately known as the "singing doctor" by clients and audiences nationwide, Dr. Bera sings about health for the whole person-body, mind and soul, and has captured her message in a new music CD, I Have a Choice!

Truly a multifaceted woman, Dr. Bera is a professional singer, naturopathic doctor, health novelist, sought-after lyricist, master gardener and passionate animal advocate. Her new CD merges all that personal and musical versatility into a range of tunes, from ballads to jazz to gospel to Broadway to blues--a veritable feast of vitality and passion that offers something for everyone to enjoy.

In May 2003, she was voted "Bad Girl Of the Month" by Bad Girls Press, a website celebrating "intelligent, creative, and wise women." You can read her insightful interview there.

John Setar, National Association of
Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS) member,

Bera is an artist that brandishes her soul behind every note she sings. Her connection with lyric and song is heartfelt--and true.

Michael Bolton, Aaron Carter, and other notables

 

Even though life's challenges can sometimes seem overwhelming, Bera rises above the fray to share her inspirational music and lyrics in an uplifting and positive way. In I Have a Choice! Bera's courage to share her personal convictions is matched by her lovely voice, accompanied by music of substance and variety. The band arrangements and crisp piano stylings of Beth Ertz are fresh and original. Through her lyrics, Bera transforms her personal experience as an individual and as a member of humanity at large, revealing her own path of growth, and inviting us to rise up and be our best. Kudos to you, Bera!

Marty Jabara, LA producer,
musical director and studio musician

 

Some amazing sounds result from this collaboration with Bera on vocals, her sister Beth on keyboard and her dad Julian singing bass. There's just something real sweet about families harmonizing. I Have a Choice! has great depth, harmonic richness and a deep cohesiveness to the music. It wouldn't surprise me if this CD garners a Grammy® nomination in the Inspirational category. Praise to Bera for putting more inspirational thought out there through songwriting that will resonate with lots of people.

David Orser, owner of AIM Recording Studio,
Tujunga, CA

 

I Have a Choice! made an impression on me the very first time I listened to it. It's highly original and professional. The lyrics are particularly charming, and the musical accompaniment is superb. I simply love Bera's work on this CD.

Upbeat and lively. Soothing and gentle. Aims right for the spirit and hits its mark. This CD is a winner and deserves the Grammy for which it was nominated. Thanks for the music, Bera! I hear the next CD is right around the corner??? I'll be the first in line to buy it!

 

5 out of 5 stars Couldn't be better!
Reviewer: Katie Martinez
This CD contains a mix of song styles - as diverse as the artist herself. Anyone lucky enough to own this CD will listen, and listen again. Bera sings about freedom, heartbreak, strength and love, and is surrounded by talented, and well-chosen back-up artists. Each of the recorded tracks contribute their own unique quality to the CD, but my particular favorites are God Chose an Angel for You, It's so Nice, and God in My Life. This CD goes everywhere with me in my car. Sometimes I just need to hear the voice of an angel.

 

5 out of 5 stars Uplifting and inspirational best describes Dr. Bera's winning CD
Reviewer: Bunny Hauser
Upon first hearing this beautiful work of art, my soul was moved to share what I had just heard. My 4 year old Grandaughter was the first and now is an avid fan of the CD as well. She especially loves the Ballads and Broadways tunes. How could anyone not be touched by this empowering, soulful and moving gift to the music world.
