One of the most profitable areas in the entertainment industry around the world — porn production, brings about a hundred billion dollars worldwide annually. The opportunity to earn good money makes people think about finding a job in this field, but it is not as easy as it may seem at first glance. Although the life of porn stars is not at all glamorous and carefree.
It just seems that the path to porn stars is easy and simple: you shot a video, posted it on the network and enjoy the number of views. But it is far from easy. Therefore, before becoming a porn star, it is necessary to take a sober and objective look at the real state of things in this business.
The tips below are suitable for both girls and guys.
OVERVIEW OF THE PORN INDUSTRY
Ask yourself if porn is the right industry for you
At first, porn seems like an ideal career for adventurous and sexually active people. You will receive good money for daily sex. But it also carries certain risks, which in the end may outweigh all the benefits. Remember:
- The film with your participation will be available on the Internet, even if you change your occupation.
- You will need to keep fit, eat well, and keep your body clean and healthy every day.
- Sex will not be fun, but work. Forget about privacy and spontaneity in sex for at least the period of 4-hour shooting of the film.
- No personal life. It is almost impossible to maintain a romantic relationship, as your partner will probably be jealous of you.
You must be at least 18 years old to be a porn star
It is a strict rule of the porn industry. Its violation can lead to a prison sentence and a huge fine.
At the casting, you must bring your passport as proof of your age. Producers are required to make a copy of the passport and keep it in the file for many years.
Find out in advance how much you will get for the work
The average fee for a heterosexual actor for one shoot is about $ 500-600. Homosexual porn stars, however, earn three times as much, regardless of gender. The golden rule — the more an actor/actress deviates from the established framework, the more he/she will receive money. So, a normal scene involving a man and a woman can bring in about $ 800, while a scene with a bit of sadomasochism — about $ 2000 or even more.
Find out where the shooting will take place
There are few places where you can legally make porn or star in it. In this regard, castings for porn stars are held closed and not everywhere, so it will take a long time to find out the address.
Becoming a porn star is incredibly difficult
The porn industry is fed up with young talents who are beating down doors of film studios in the hope of becoming stars in the near future. The sad reality, however, dictates its own rules, and not everyone can become a celebrity and succeed in any industry. If you chose this industry to become famous, you will be disappointed with the real state of affairs. The porn industry is one of the most competitive due to the influence of the Internet, so get ready to work hard to earn a name for yourself. Porn is not the epitome of a carefree lifestyle, it is a job, and you need to treat it that way.
Although no one should force you to do anything, different preferences and the desire to try something more will allow you to get more offers and more success.
CASTING SESSION
Any type of figure is considered beautiful and profitable in the porn industry
Since there is a demand for almost any type of men and women on the Internet, almost all types of men and women can occupy their niche in the porn industry. The most important thing is confidence in front of the camera, not appearance.
However, you must be at your best in front of the camera. Exercises, a healthy diet, and confident positions will help you make good progress.
Take your best photos (naked and in clothes)
The directors are more interested in your appearance than anyone else. They are the ones who select the actors, and they need to make sure that you meet the standards for their next film. Take as many photos of your body as possible, favorably exposing yourself. If you have a great breast, lift it up a little and make it the center of the photo. If you are proud of your booty, arch a little so that it falls into the frame.
Pass all tests for HIV and STIs
One of the advantages of the modern porn industry is the requirement for safe and healthy sex. To participate in any porn shootings, you will be required to have a fresh STI certificate (up to 30 days) to prevent possible infection of the actors during filming.
Set personal boundaries about the types of sex you are willing to engage in
If you are not willing to do it at home for free, you should not do it for money. Keep this in mind as you prepare to shoot, as it will help you stay happy and healthy throughout your career. Know your limits and voice them to the directors before accepting the offer to participate.
Beat the doorsteps of porn studios
Go straight to a nearby porn studio and send them your profile via their website. Porn studios nearby can be found via the Internet.
Take a friend or an accompanying person with you to the audition, so as not to get caught in the net of scammers
If the producer tells you that you can not bring someone with you, because this is a closed audition, do not take part in it. You need to protect yourself against scammers, and the best way is to bring a partner with you who will have your back.
If you are promised a sky-high fee for shooting with a minimum of your participation or you are not given specific information (what you will do, where, how long and how often), do not agree to participate.
Get ready to perform
Auditions are about more than just showing off and taking a couple of photos. You need to be ready to get into bed and be a professional, ready to interact. If you get the role, you need to remember that you will be filmed on camera. Therefore, take care of your appearance — put on clean underwear, take a shower and put in order the appearance of intimate areas.
CAREER IN THE PORN INDUSTRY
Find a licensed porn agency with a good reputation
The agency will help you get roles, protect you in case of contract disputes, and keep you in touch with other porn stars and producers. Browse the websites of different agencies to find the one that meets your requirements and desires.
Come up with a stage name for your porn persona
While there is no law that says you can not use your real name, it’s generally easier to keep your career a secret with a pseudonym. You can choose a perfectly normal name or something absurd. The main thing is that name should be as simple as possible.
Do not forget about professionalism during the shooting
Just like normal filming, successful porn requires incredible coordination and teamwork between the cameraman, director, sound engineer, lighting team, and cast. Do not think that you will be treated as a royal person on the site. You should be ready for 3-4 hours of shooting, re-shooting, and posing. You may have to shoot the same scene five times and still remember your role and poses each time. It is harder than you might think, especially after 3-4 hours of bedtime filming.
You have to meet someone else’s standards
Porn is entertainment for other people. The director, producer, and screenwriter will have their own views on what they think is most appropriate. You need to be flexible and open to change, whether that means trying on suits, having an irregular work schedule, or taking pills to increase the appeal of your “assets”. This will not always be something pleasant for you, but it is necessary for a serious and long career.
Never sign a contract until you are paid
This may anger the producers, but you need to protect yourself from scammers. Do not sign a contract until you have cash or a check on hand.
Diversify your options
A heterosexual man or woman who participates in only one type of porn, unfortunately, will not have much work to do. The porn industry is constantly changing and evolving, and therefore requires actors who are flexible, enthusiastic and willing to try new things. While you should respect your limitations, try new things as soon as you get comfortable in the industry to develop your career.
Remember, the more unusual the shooting, the more you are paid.
Scenes with multiple partners or partners of the same sex usually pay the most.
Think with a long-term perspective about a career in the porn industry. Once your face is on the Internet, there will be no turning back. You must be 100% sure of your desire to pursue a career in the porn industry.
