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."

Recent winner of the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical, GLEE, the new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

The show, which also garnered Golden Globe recognition, stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

Due to the success of the first installment of the show, which aired last on December 9, FOX has already ordered a second season of the show and announced that it will soon be launching a nationwide search to cast three new roles, which will be documented on the network in the multi-part special. These newest additions will make their debut on the second season premiere.

GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.

GLEE returns to FOX on April 13, 2010 at 9:30pm. For information on the upcoming GLEE tour this summer, visit www.gleetour2010.com.
