Cast of GLEE at SAG Awards 2010
It’s not surprising that FOX has already given “Glee” the thumbs up on a season 2. It has already garnered several awards such as the SAG Award for Best Comedy Series Ensemble, a Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy Series, and Dorian Awards for TV Musical Comedy of the Year and Jane Lynch (plays Sue Sylvester) also took home TV Performance of the Year: Musical or Comedy, and a People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy. These are just awards given in the past couple of weeks. In addition, the Glee volume 1 and volume 2 soundtracks both went Gold.
The second season comes with a little twist. Fans will be able to vie for a spot on the show. According to the press release from FOX:
Building upon the show’s incredibly supportive community of GLEEks and with the hope of bringing fans even closer to the series, auditions will be open to amateur individuals as well as professionals between the ages of 16-26, and all hopefuls will be able to submit auditions online. Additional details to be announced soon, please check www.fox.com/glee for updates.
This unique casting search and process will be chronicled in a multi-part special that will air leading up to the premiere of the series’ second season in fall 2010 on FOX, and the new cast members will be revealed in the premiere episode…
…ALL the roles will be chosen from the video audition process, which is exciting and unprecedented. We want to be the first interactive musical comedy on television, and the search is ON.
According to the Glee official website, online auditions for 3 roles will begin in February 2010, but make sure to keep checking www.fox.com/glee/audition/ for the latest.

THIS GUY WOULD BE AWESOME ONE THIS SHOW.
If you love glee, you’ll notice, a LOT of the people that are auditioning
can’t sing, have horrible stage presence, and look like they’re either
too old for high school, or not good for the show.
I think he’d be the perfect match for Kurt.
SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HIM.
i’m so sad that the glee myspace site has been down because i’ve been looking forward to the links that you all have shared. as soon as the site’s up and running, i’ll be sure to check them out and comment again. keep posting links to your audition videos!
