Oxygen announces open casting calls for "The Glee Project," Myspace audition shortlist announced Nov 19

Aha! This is what they’re doing with all of those entries from the Glee open casting call done earlier this year. I think I read and reported at some point that the contest from earlier was canceled so I’ll be sure to remove that blog post (done!). Congrats to those who made the shortlist. I would love to hear from you! You should look at my blog post, “Glee gets nod for Season 2, open auditions for 3 roles.” It has some of the videos that people submitted and shared with me. Also, I met Iqbal Theba (Principal Figgins) this summer and interviewed him, read HERE. ~Ifelicious
