glee.

If you know me you know that I love Glee. Actually, love is a huge understatement. So when I found out they were holding open auditions in February I was pretty much the happiest girl on the planet, working on Glee is my dream.

Well, that, and being a princess at Disneyland. ;]


Although I had already decided I was auditioning no matter what, I was insanely nervous and put off sending my audition in until the last day of auditions. Kinda ridiculous, I know. But I finally sent it in and we've all been waiting since April 26 to find out if we get a callback.

It's the most nerve-racking experience
of my life.

People ask me everyday if I've heard anything and it's a huge bummer to have to tell them "No." All the casting people have told us is that the callbacks will take place in LA
"beginning on or about July 1, 2010"
so we have no idea when (or even how) they will be letting us know if we did get one. All I think about and all I talk about allll day everyday is getting on Glee. It kinda sucks a lot. I try and think about other things but everything always leads back to that.

They recently said in an interview that one of the new characters they're looking for is a
"perky christian country singer".
I am LDS, was raised on country music, and am kinda ridiculously perky (although you probably can't tell from my audition though because I was so nervous) so the role might as well have been written for me.

I've decided to try and use the power of the interwebs to maybe help me get on Glee. I know I'm not the best singer out there and that my chances of getting on the show are 1 in 40 billion but I'm a really hard worker and I want this more than anything in the world. I refuse to give up.

So if this is going to work I'm going to need everyone's help. What can you do to help you ask? Well if you have a facebook click this button here:

Help Debi get on Glee!

and join my group/invite your friends. Other things you can do:

- put my button on your blog
- write a post about me and link to this post/ my facebook group
- put a link to this on your status on myspace or facebook
- tweet a link to this post
- put my button on your myspace
- anything else you can come up with


If everyone helps and does this then hopefully someone who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone from casting will be awesome and pass it on to their casting friend so they can see it and possibly be sweet enough to give me a callback so I can show them what I can do.

Even if nothing comes from this and I don't end up getting on I really appreciate all the love and support all of you have given me through this. I will never forget it. and at least I'll know that I was brave enough to put myself out there and try my best and that's something to be proud of. (Plus I got the rare experience of getting a slushie thrown in my face which was actually pretty awesome. You should try it sometime. ;])



If you would like a button to put on your blog/website I'll make it a little easier for you and give you the code. Just copy and paste the code in the box:
