How To Break into the Porn Industry

How to get into porn

Have you wondered about how to get into porn movies but just don’t know how to go about doing it? Maybe you’ve thought about looking for porn casting calls or porn audition postings, but you don’t even know where to start. I’ve heard a lot of girls and guys say that they would love to be in a porn movie but just don’t know how to get started. Some don’t think that they have the right body type to do so. I can walk you through how to break into porn movies.

Just a heads-up. The following information is for adults only, as no one under eighteen (18) can get into porn movies.

First off, if you’ve never worked in porn before then you definitely do not want to start off trying to get your break with Playboy, Penthouse, Vivid, Hustler or any of the other big name companies. These companies are for the pros – for people who have already done some work. Amateurs, especially males, will just end up getting chewed up and spit out. So avoid these till you have paid your dues as an amateur.

Porn is great due to the fact that you don’t need the most perfect body to do it. You do have to be in shape, but a small flaw here and there is usually acceptable. Whereas in the traditional modeling world, you need to be as close to perfect as possible.

Everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to what turns them on. That’s why there are so many genres in porn. There are even some fetish producers who will look for very specific attributes. For instance, there is a niche for overweight performers. And other niches for specific ethnicities. Having said that, it still should be noted that the vast majority of the amateur porn companies tend to look for the more mainstream in-shape, fit, well-groomed, and attractive body style and look.

A modeling forum like this one here on Adult Casting Center, is a great way for an amateur to break into porn. Amateur porn producers will list an upcoming job on the porn casting board when they are looking for a performer. Look around these castings and when you find a producer you think you might be able to work with, submit your application.

Make sure to have pictures and a short video available to upload or email as they are going to want to see what you look like. Be up-front and honest with your limits. This is very important. But keep in mind that there is a lot of competition for many of these jobs, so do your best at keeping an open mind while staying within your own limits.

Once you’ve established contact, be sure to let the producer know about any limits that you may have, such as not doing anything without a condom, no anal, no bondage etc. These limits need to be what you are personally comfortable doing and not doing.

Even though you may have supplied recent photos when you submitted your application, do not be surprised if you get asked to take more photos to send to a casting coordinator, producer, studio, or casting manager. They will want proof that the photos are recent, and will need to see both clothed and nude pictures of you. They may also ask for you to hop on Skype or another video chat platform so they can see you real-time. A word of caution: If you submit old photos of yourself that do not look like the way you look today, and then you are chosen, and they discover you are not the same, they will be upset and will not work with you again.

If and when you are chosen for a shoot, and there is intercourse involved, make sure you know what the producer’s stance on condom usage is. They can never pay enough to put your health on the line. I have seen flavored condoms used for oral sex scenes and I have also seen baby food used to replace a man’s bodily fluids for these types of scenes. So make sure one or the other is used to protect yourself.

Amateur porn producers understand that you will be nervous and that it will take you time to warm up to doing this in front of a camera. Still you need to realize that this is a job and that you need to be professional in doing this. So try your best to maintain a professional attitude with the producer, camera crew and other actors and actresses.

For the ladies out there wanting to get into porn movies, I must stress this: know your body! The reason I stress this is that it is not only unprofessional but very embarrassing to be set up for a movie shoot and then start your monthly period. If you have irregular periods then go on the pill to help you to regulate them to where you know exactly when you will be starting and ending your monthly. This way you know exactly what days of the month not to book any movie shoots for.

Amateur porn producers network a lot with other producers. So if a producer that you have been working with invites you to a party, go with them. This will give you a great chance to be seen by other producers. Alcohol may be served at these events. With that said you need to refrain from drinking a whole lot. Grab a glass of champagne or wine and walk around with it. Sip on it occasionally but that should be all, it is mostly going to be in your hand to hold. You are there to be seen and to make an impression on other producers who will pay you greatly to be in one of their movies. By getting drunk you are likely to look unprofessional and make fool out of yourself.

Porn movies are a great way to make money and have fun. Frequent the casting postings to get yourself started. With amateur porn you don’t have to stick with just one type of shoot. So keep an open mind and broaden your horizons, this is a great time to try new things. Actors and actresses are also great to network with when breaking into the porn industry. Get yourself out there and be seen!
