She can be heard on "The Girl Scout" CD, "American Girls" CD and "Broadway Kids" CD along with others.

That same year, Ashley Rose Orr played one of three nearly identical Ashleys, in the spoofy, musical comedy, and experimental film, captured with the first successful use of real-time interactive 3D virtual set technology... "Red Riding Hood" (2004). The concept of shooting "Red Riding Hood" with at times marked, many-layered, high definition 3D stage scrims was inspired by the director and digital film pioneer, Randal Kleiser.

About this same time, she found much demand to perform on a variety of television shows and create film voice-overs.

Ashley guest starred as Franchessca on That's So Raven.
