I don't remember where I read it, but I read how Wood got the part.
Apparently Jackson had been in England looking for a British Frodo, and
Wood found he. He just absolutely wanted to be in this movie, so he
dressed himself up in Hobbit gear and videotapes himself do Hobbit type
things and sent it off to Jackson. Apparently Jackson was impressed ;-)

In regards to Liv's voice. I'm not sure what they did, but I remember
seeing a clip of her talking about how she developed the speech patter
for Arwen based in the language in the books. I thought that was quite
wonderful..truly getting into her part.
