Question
I want to become a porn star how do I get started?
Assuming you don't know anybody in the business, your best bet is to find a reputable agency to rep you. I assume from your name that you are female, which generally gives you better odds, but if you want to work with the larger production companies, there's plenty of competition.
Also, what kind of niche are you interested in? Do you fall within a certain category regarding age, body type, background, talent, etc.? The more specialized you are, the better you can distinguish yourself.
If you want to send me an email with more details, I may be able to steer you to the right agency/production company.
