“I wanna be a pornstar! OMG! I need info!”
Sexyjobs.com have put together some advice for jobseekers in the porn industry. Here are some of the best ones:
Avoid the Casting Couch.
“It is a regrettable fact that unethical, sleazy, and exploitative producers continue to exist not just in the adult industry, but throughout the entire entertainment field. There are still individuals who try to take advantage of hopeful wannabes by promising a job, a contract, or some other lure if they get a “sample of the goods” in advance. More often than not, these sorts of promises end up being false.”
Find your unique selling proposition (USP)
“Because the adult industry is so vast and encompasses so many distinct genres, there is demand for actors and actresses of all adult ages, ethnicities, and body types. Therefore, you don’t need to have a specific look or be a specific type of person in order to enter the industry. Rather than trying to copy someone else’s look, you are better off cultivating your own unique style, drawing on your best assets. ”
Get a day job
“It’s an unfortunate fact, but very few actors are actually working at any given time. Acting work can be sporadic, so be prepared to make a living doing other things in the meantime. ”
The pay in porn movies is too poor - i think girls in mainstream get paid about $1500 / $2000 a scene - why is that?
