otownjenni in Onstage7 asks: Ashley I was wondering,
since you have done video game voice overs in the
past, are you ever planning on doing them again or
maybe something for a cartoon?
O-Town_Live says: Ashley: Probably not. It was a fun
thing to do, but I'd like to concentrate more on
acting. I've been going to auditions and reading
scripts. I'd also like to pursue songwriting a little
more.

been writing alot, especially in your free time. Are
more of your own songs going to make the new album?
O-Town_Live says: We've been concentrating on our
writing but it's also what working with Clive Davis is
all about. He can pick those hit songs and we hope
that our songs get on the record, but the only ones
that will be on the record will be hit songs.

places we want to go, and we want to thank the fans
for supporting us even though we can't get there.
otownsgurl_1 in Onstage2 asks: You guys meet
celebrities all the time, but which celebrity do you
like most based on their personality?
DishDiva says: One sec, the guys are backstage and
they'll be right back to answer your questions!
O-Town_Live says: Mark McGrath, from Sugar Ray. We met
him at the RMA's and it turns out that his mom is a
big O-Town fan so he brought her over to meet us. Most
celebrities don't come us to us because we were on TV
and put together, but now there are a lot of
celebrities
O-Town_Live says: that are giving us respect and Mark
was so cool. We did the Montel Williams show and he's
a very positive roll model. People should watch his
show.

the guys.
