her voice is so airy and soothing, casting her as Arwen was a brilliant and obvious choice.

[TheLeatheryman]

Good god she’s just so adorable. Everything about her soothe my soul, especially her voice.

[andydaniels]

I like how Conan said that the Elvish she spoke sounded Gaelic. Tolkien indeed was inspired by Welsh when he created Sindarin.

[DavidArriola]

People didn't know in that moment what the Lord of the Rings was going to be. Liv had just returned from filming the greatest cinematic feat in history and nobody cared (yet).

[landonmiles]

Can we just appreciate that Tolkien CREATED the Elvish language? Dude was insane.

[jherbranson]

Her delivery of Elvish in those movies was amazing.

[tiff]

6:29 her giggle is just so cute, like she knows it sounds a little silly

[patreekotime]

The wildest thing about this clip is them mentioning the Lord of the Rings and the audience sitting in total silence. It's hard to remember that there was a time when those films were considered genre films that nobody thought would really catch on.

I could listen to her talk for eternity

[Emeraldnite-ifvo]

I remember watching this when it originally aired when I had no knowledge of LOTR and being only mildly interested in seeing the films. Now it's become almost an annual tradition to watch them and my fiancee's go to movies when she's bored.

[YaMumsSpecialFriend]

23 bloody years ago! I feel so old..but still am in love with this tall elf woman❤️

[grimdrum]

Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. When she spoke that line in Elvish, it sounded amazing!!

[ygnit]

I'm not an overall fan of Liv, but watching her interviews I truly appreciate her as Arwen. She truly has the energy of this incredibly sweet and gentle, well-meaning, a touch otherworldy spirit, the way she naturally speaks is so hypnotizingly soothing and alluring. She is naturally more elven than some of her acting in the trilogy.

[teddyray]

She is so disarmingly charming and delightful. I'm positively smitten.

[videoinformer]

I love her Elvish impersonation. I'd love to hear her sing "You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog" in Elvish!

[annehamilton]

Liv has the most beautiful voice. I watched a 1981 interview with her mother bebe buell, and she sounds like liv, now I know where liv gets it from. Liv also got her gorgeous looks from her mother.

[MrPtrlix]

Conan was and still is so respectful and classy.

[hakanandersson]

I love her voice it´s so sweet and calming

[theicecavalier]

She could wake me up in the middle of the night speaking elvish any time. ❤

[TheNightshotBR]

Her voice could melt butter from across the room.
