Georgia Wood (nee Duder) is an Auckland, New Zealand-based singer, specialising in theatre, cabaret and jazz, and also works as an actress and voice coach. She is a graduate of The University of Auckland and Toi Whakaari – The New Zealand Drama School.

As part of the tenth anniversary cast of Les Miserables for Cameron Mackintosh she performed as Madame Thenardier, and was part of the comedy girl-group 'The Fabulous Singlettes' for the hugely popular modernized Australian Gilbert and Sullivan Operas. In New Zealand she has performed in numerous Auckland Theatre Company musicals, most recently as Nicky in Sweet Charity.

Other vocal and performance experience is extensive – from jazz in Japan to soul in London, large outdoor events to intimate soirees; from cabaret and burlesque to session work and backing vocals, a one-woman rock opera to an album of lullabies; from a cappella quartets to big band harmony groups.

She is the resident chanteuse for the sumptuous jazz era restaurant Prohibition, and when at home holds monthly soirees at Nightingales for her 'Art of Song' series, saluting the exceptional Great American songbook writers Porter, Gershwin et al.

Passionately interested in the human voice, she has trained in bio-laryngeal mechanics and sound-healing, and tutors voice and performance skills privately and for the Performing Arts School of New Zealand.

As a qualified yoga instructor her particular field of interest and skill is how the body as–instrument can best produce all manner of sounds, and is a firm believer in the human need to sing; believing that to sing, and to listen to song, is to be joyously alive!
