Hi! I'm needing to know who to talk to so i can begin acting in amature porn videos. I live in Texas so i really would like to find out who in Texas produces adult videos that i could call. I really need the information that could tell me where to start at to become a porn star in adult film.

Answer
Guys really need to either move to or vacation in Florida or California before you can get connected with someone in your local area. You can put an ad on sexyjobs.com and see what results you pull in...But usually they want guys with experience...and companies are not just going to go see YOU in Texas. So after you get some relevant experience you then go in your area again and have some type of "adult resume" to show pricks who tell you that you need experience to get started....once you "have experience" they really can’t justify that as being their lame excuse for not hiring you.

Untested talent is the biggest reason why people don’t get jobs in the adult industry.

Men: have to actually perform, Get hard, stay hard and cum on cue. You also want to be able to follow the director’s orders. If you think you’re going in (being hired) to have someone pay you to fuck a hot chick (in front of a camera) your wrongfully mistaken. Believe it or not it IS actual WORK!!! YES that’s right folks its a real job, Just like all you 9-5’ers (except that were (the performers) are naked) There is nothing romantic or remotely fun about being told how to fuck (its one thing to get it from your SO, Harder, Deeper, Faster…ETC, ETC in the privacy of your own place…but some fuckin guy!!!) and when to stop fucking and then being told to wait and being told to start out on another location which is much more uncomfortable to be fucking in or on altogether. Scenes seem to flow very well in the “cut” version of a film but remember that that’s just what it is….that is the EDITED version (condensed) and that a 30 to 90 minute scene probably took 45 minutes to 3 hours to shoot (more or less depending on the director).


Women: have the luxury of being able to ACT like their really enjoying it, but you will still have to able to do it convincingly and YES you really must love to FUCK in general. Since girls who have either been an escort or a dancer in the past need to reevaluate their treatment and thinking of men in general since the guys that you will be working with are not tricks or johns they have been used to “working” in the past. The guys in porn whether you’re dealing with the Director, Producer or Male Talent are the same as the Manager, DJ, Bouncer or Driver at the club or service that you previously worked for. We are around pussy 24/7 so in reality you’re not that fucking special and there are THOUSANDS of you out there and believe it or not there will be THOUSANDS more following right behind you. Since most of the heterosexual porn is mainly focused on the female actress you have to look like you WANT to be there and not off getting HIGH or watching the clock, there have been directors that actually penalize the girls who whine, bitch, complain and generally watch the clock. Just like in any job if you don’t seem like you’re focused on the time element the shoot in general actually goes a lot faster then you initially thought. Just bring your lube, test, ID’s and get some adequate sleep the night before unless you want to see the door close early on your career in blue movies. Don’t worry you to will also have to take orders from the director as well.
