I wish I could sing. I really, really do. Not only would I be able to be the next Beyonce’ (or better ), but I’d have a shot at auditioning for Fox’s newest hit TV show, “Glee”. Do you know how utterly cool that would be? I love that show, and to have the chance to become a CAST MEMBER blows my mind!

Well, for Tennesseans, Mississippians, and Arkansas residents, your dream may become a reality. FOX13 is holding an open casting call on April 3rd at Harrell Theater. I know that there will be a lot of excited individuals who want to be the next “Gleek”, but you have to be patient, as you cannot line up to audition no earlier than 7 am on April 3rd. Auditions should start no later than 8 am.

Who can enter? Anyone can enter, as long as they are between the ages of 16 and 26 as of April 19, 2010 will valid ID. What should you bring? When auditioning, you should have the completed audition form, a non-returnable headshot, valid ID, and your personality, talent, and ambition to win! You can find a complete list of rules at myfoxmemphis.com. You will be required to sing an a cappella song of your choosing for about 30 seconds so come prepared.

This is very exciting! As someone who has auditioned in the past for various dance performances, I know how nerve wrecking auditions can be. The greatest advice that I can give is to go in there, be yourself, and LIVE. Leave your heart on the audition room floor, and as long as you felt that you gave it your all, you will be fine. Keep in mind that there are at least three people who did not show up at the audition just because they knew that you would be there.

So whether you’re auditioning, or know someone who wants to, pass this info along and encourage them to do their best!

How would you feel if you were a “Glee” cast member? Do you think that you would audition or know someone who would want to?
