Take a deep breath and refrain from screaming hysterically: GLEE‘s executive producers have just announced they’re holding a nationwide casting search for a bunch of performers to fill some new roles during Season 2. Starting this week, amateur and professional performers between the ages of 16-26 can submit and audition video on MySpace at http://myspace.com/gleeauditions

All you have to do is explain why you’d be perfect for the show and be prepared to sing and dance your guts out to one of ten previously selected show hits likes “True Colors,” “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Lean on Me.” You can do it a cappella, with an intrument, or get down and dirty via MySpace Karaoke or by uploading their own pre-recorded videos. Rules dictate audition videos must be limited to five minutes in length – a one-minute introduction and a four-minute song – and only one submission per person is allowed.

Contest ends April 26. For more info, hit myspace.com/gleeauditions.
