The UK Mirror recently caught up with GLEE stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron and Chris Colfer about their favorite GLEE moments, audition processes, high school experiences and more.
Golden Globe-Nominee Lea Michele talked to the UK mirror about her audition process for the role of Rachel Berry. She explained that she had three separate auditions for the role and that for the first audition, "the piano player messed up and they were laughing at me. I was like, ‘Why are you laughing? This is supposed to be a serious scene.' But it turned out I was doing a lot of things that were very much like Rachel Berry."
Cory Monteith told the Mirror about his dancing experiences on the show and how it's been a long journey to feel comfortable in his dancing shows. Monteith tells the Mirror, "When we first started, it was like pulling teeth. And as the season went along, everything got more streamlined. We're such a tight unit that what you see on screen is real life in a lot of ways."
