Whoever dreamed up the idea of actors reading letters before an audience is a genius! This is fun to listen to, and the actors get to show their range. It’s fantastic!

And this is why actors make some of the finest letter readers. They know how to infuse simple words with joy, with wonder and amazement, with sadness and tragedy. They know how to give life to thoughts.

Actors gonna *act.* 💁

“Your beauty is all the way through you”. Now that is a love letter.

Kit - perfect Oklahoma accent... Someone should have written a love letter like that to me. I'm breathless.

the accent is very well done. if i didnt know better i would honestly say this monologue came from a pastor at the local baptist church. much respect for kit.

The accent was near perfect. Loved the delivery of ‘Darlin’.

Kit Harington is pure talent. If I didn't look at the video, I would never know it was him speaking. ❤️‍🔥

A. What a letter B. Thank you for doing this series C. Kit is amazing at this

What a great Actor.

It is great to have beauty reading beautifully.

This amazing and talented man/actor 👏♥ Bravo! I saw him this year as Henry V at Donmar Warehouse Theatre in London( He was SPECTACULAR 💯👏🙌) And now this GEM! Thanks Letters Live 👏🙌 Thanks Kit! ♥( And with Choose Love pin!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏)

That was simply beautiful. And beautifully read by Kit, bravo!

Great actor....he can read anything.,...and you love to listen

I wrote a letter to the love of my life and mailed it a few days ago, and it gave me a chuckle when I realized it had a similar feel to this one from decades ago. If you've got a lover, write them a letter. Even if you live together, write them a letter and slip it in an envelope with the normal post one day. You'll be glad you did.

Brilliantly written and superbly read, a joy to my ears!

Okay, calm down. It was wonderful. He is great and very beautiful. That was a good approximation of an American accent. It was not a perfect Oklahoma accent. I love Kit Harrington. He is amazing! I love him with his good American accent, enough not to have to pretend it was a perfect regional Oklahoma one. Thanks, Kit! You brought that beautiful letter to life!!

I don't speak Oklahoma but I could feel it wasn't quite there yet

He really tried with that accent, and as a midwestern boy watching a man known for doing an northern English accent trying his hand at Berryman’s accent… well done. Not perfect, but it didn’t take me out of the prose.

Kit Harrington.. reading this.. ❤️

Wow, I'm in awe of his US accent.

I let my goldfish listen to this, it was soooo powerful now he’s a shark👍

Wow that was really good

Damn he beat me too it...

Just came to savor Kit. He could've been reading a Jackie Collins novel for all I care (but this content's still a nice touch)🤫

I would love to see Kit and Emilia recreate an entire scene from GOT using their American accents.

To letters live; I admire him dearly and his presentations. How do I get to know when he is going to present himselve or when he gets invited for an interview at one of the lates show so that I could buy my tickets on time and get to see him in person for the first time??🤷🤔 please pass me that info so I would be one of he supporters and fan. 😇👌 I am from Bronx,Ny so I want to know its when he gets to present at any of his events here in New York.👩🙋

Are you telling me these were the kind of letters women used to receive?

Tiny bit of work yet, and this man will do a damn fine McConauchey impression...

Who was Mr. Berryman writing to? None of his 3 wives was called Chris?

A love letter read by Lindsey Graham.

Did he just say words? Cause all I heard was a series of hard arghs!... No but really...his accent is kinda unnervingly impressive...

......you can do so much better than me

Love is unique and if true nothing else can come close to it! If not, it is but a pathetic show of make believe that leaves one feeling empty and alone once the curtain has come down!!!

I don’t know why, but if you told me he was American, I’d say he sounds like he’s pretending. Now his accent is great. But I can tell.

Well delivered. Uneven writing, but that's OK when it ranges from brilliant to decent. The beginning of my love letter: There is no hedge for you; I am out on a ledge it's true and; To add specificity, there is no demand elasticity. Economists feel passion too, though it is subjected to more rigorous valuation. And don't mention feet in a love letter, it's slightly creepy.

"your teeth and your nipples".. 🤮... Come on... Ffs... Who puts a woman's teeth right before her nipples in a letter !?!?!? The man was a 🤡... I've ritted better wordys that thems !!!

ah … right, (mate), this one’s called ‘acting’; you see, John Berryman was a preternaturally gifted and inventive American poet & literary critic, enamoured ~ like Robert Lowell ~ by the southern literary scene, with a dash of Yeats, and ol’ Kit here is in a process of what you might call simulation, or artifice, attempting to capture all that, and not doing a terrible job of it, though Berryman’s voice was far more elaborate, prone to grand swells and muffled guttural yelps. See him on KZread reading his ‘Dream Song 14’ for a fine example of this. … Christ. Imagine you seeing this, and coming away with that 🤦🏻‍♂️ … imagine too, you feeling superior to *this guy*. now that’s very, very funny.

@@johnjosmith42 so you read every book in the accent of the author? Barely anyone else who reads the letters at these events does the accent of the author, even people who actually can do the accent. If Kit wanted to do it could have practiced first to at least do justice to the letter. Your comment makes you sound like such a bellend. Why start crying so much over someone pointing out that Kit struggled with the accent and it took away from the greatness of the letter? Kit also isn't acting here is he, as you so confidently argued, he's doing a reading of a letter, like everyone else at this event. And when did I claim I was superior to Kit? Listen to yourself. If someone says something is bad do you always start crying and say "why do you think you're better than him!?" I said his accent was bad, that has nothing to do with who is "superior", which is also an extremely strange thing to think anyone ever does. I can only assume it's something you do quite often given how normal you think it is.
