I think they probably figured they already gave LA and NYC already had a fair shot since most of the cast came from those areas that landed in season 1. Besides, most affordable air fare across the country would end up connecting in Chicago or Dallas anyway, why not just make it a non-stop flight for most people? I know it can be tough to get anywhere that's not your own backyard, but I think the choice made reflected ... pragmatism.
1) Everyone stop complaining about the cities. They made this decision for a reason...maybe to find talent that normally wouldn't be able to go all the way to NY or LA for an audition.
2) Stop complaining about the age. I have a feeling that one of the the reasons it's 18+ is because they don't want to take high school students away from school. They're actually doing you a favor of making sure you get your education.
@Emanizer Regardless, you're being taken away from your schoolwork. Promotion and filming for The Glee Project is going to take place throughout January, February, and March, and if they let high schoolers participate, too many kids would be falling behind, home-schooled or not.
I am very excited to audition! I must admit though, a lot of people have been complaining about the lack of cities and the age requirements. I have to agree, in Los Angeles and New York, the talent pool is MUCH bigger than that of Dallas and Chicago. This is ultimately going to discourage a lot of people from coming because there aren't enough cities to choose from :) I am interested as to how many people will go to auditions
So I finally turn 16 AND then your casting is for 18 and older?! Cold, man. Cold. I was born to be on a show, and the ever increasing age limit stops me time and time again. ARGH
@Emanizer Because Sometimes doing a show like Glee they want Adults... Not necessarily meaning that you aren't great, just they don't want to have all of the attachments that come with Minors.
@Emanizer I TOTALLY AGREE! I mean with the Myspace auditions they allowed 16 and up. This is not fair to people who are 17 and 16 who can sing, act and dance. I kicked my self backwards not doing the Open Casting Call and I saw this and it got my hopes up only to kill them.

GUYS GUYS GUYS
The problem is CHILD LABOR LAWS
If you were under 18, you would not be able to work more than a few hours everyday
and that would slow down shooting
Once you are 18, then can work you as long as they want
and if you know Glee, then you know that they are constantly recording, learning choreography, and acting allllll daaaaay.
THATS WHY YOU HAVE TO BE OVER 18!!!
