    Search Anyone know how?

    I have really wanted to get into porn lately. But since I live in Seattle it seems to be really difficult. Most ads I have responded to have been "personal" porn. ugh!

    Anyway, does anyone know how, or who I can contact?

    Thank you, in advance!

    Love,
    Lee

    Yes, but I'm not willing to put my contacts in jeopardy for a first time poster.

    There are plenty of internet 'modeling' places you can put up your profile seeking work. You could do a search for porn agents and submit yourself to them. You could set up your own web page and do it yourself.

    It's not rocket science..

    What you need to do is get some full body nudes of yourself. A LOT of photographers will do TFP ( trade for pictures ) Next I would suggest you start in Florida. There's lots of agents who are willing to represent you for a fee. Next you will need to get tested - BioCollections is the most reputable there. They are nice and treat the girls with respect. A lot of places don't.

    There's work to be had in Cali - and I would not recommend that to anyone without some sort of experience. It's a meat grinder and a lot rougher than Florida.

    Yes and that's what happens to a lot of girls that end up dumped on the side of the road. With some sort of staff infection or just plain out worked to death. It's NOT about being willing to do what they want. Set your limits and stick to it. If anal doesn't bother you, do it. if it does, don't. Any agent or videographer that tries to FORCE someone they are working with to do anything they don't want to is slime. Straight up.

    Model Mayhem took down my profile because I do "adult" work... One Model Place is better. Still, you have to be careful. There's lots of sleazy people in the porn industry.

    For agents NOT to go to.. Pm me.

    Good luck.

    Like in any other form of show business you aren't going far without an agent.

    Most of the business is out in LA, though you will find some in Florida and a tiny bit in NY state.

    Some of the more notable agencies websites are:


    www.adulttalentmanagers.com/

    www.adultfaces.com/

    www.alisttalent.com/

    www.doublexxxposure.com/

    www.foxxxmodeling.com/

    www.newlinetalentagency.com/

    www.ladirectmodels.com/

    www.goldstarmodeling.com/

    www.reddroseproductions.com/

    www.spieglergirls.com/

    www.type9models.com/

    www.valleybabesxxx.com/

    www.itmodels.com/

    BTW, while we are on the subject, is it needed to point out the obvious: That it is just possible that if you are willing to judge the worth of someone simply by what you read on a website about them it might say a whole hell of a lot more about you than it says about the person you are judging?

    As I stated before, since I have done porn and made movies - Florida is the best way to gain experience. California is a tough market and will eat a noob up - Florida to gain experience and get some scene time under ones belt. Then California.

    I didh't contradict that. I simply said most of the biz is in California [that's correct isn't it, next Florida and some in NY and then listed some agencies.

    I dunno about starting in Florida, The con is they pay less the pro is there aren't 300 people on the set. But maybe set up some amatuer work here and then go to LA just make sure you check everyone out, because in the last few years there's a lot of wanna be's that don't even do AIM testing (scary!) PM me if you want some more advice as I don't want to put too much of my business out there either!

    Also, there's not as much money here and they all want anal lately and if you do anal right out the bat, you'll never get what you're worth. Someone recommended Red Rose and in my experience if you're just starting out they're a very good company.

    Adult film work is tough, it's hard work.. I'm not trying to be combative, just giving experienced advice. There is a lot more work in Florida than some people think and it's best to be experienced before going to LA and Cali. Just throwing somebody in there and sending them to AIM to get tested would be rough. It's like throwing fresh steak to the wolves.

    Everything in the adult film industry is mostly internet now - the well known film houses Like Vivid and Wicked already have what they want and unless one is perfect ( Body/figure) wise you won't get a contract.

    I agree with starting in FL. Not only is it more laid back (LA is a ROUGH town. I agree with Crow in not attempting it until you have experience...you'll get eaten alive),but it is quickly becoming more porn prolific then Cali with many companies moving from LA to Miami in the next few months because of new laws and taxes in Cali.

    Go to thefloatingworld.com. Start calling agents until you find one you are comfortable with. (PM me as well if you want agents to stay away from) Take pics..nude...front,back and sides. The agents will ask for them. They dont have to be pro,but make yourself look good.

    Make a list of what you will and wont do(solo,b/g,g/g,b/b/g,b/g/g,orgy,interracial,facials,swallowing,anal,etc...e tc....)and stick to it

    And dont expect to get rich. Dont even expect to rely on porn to pay your bills. Sometimes you'll get a ton of work(esp in the beginning)..sometimes you wont get a single booking for months. Dont rely on it.

    Thank you sweetie.. You got what I left out!

    Also porn is seasonal - winter is not so good. You might not get work for months.
    Summer time is better.

    Also make sure your pictures ARE NOT RETOUCHED! No photoshopping or airbrushing. Agents get sort of cranky when you do that.

    From what I have heard you can say that again.

    Most of the women I am aware of late who got into porn didn't do it for the $$$ from the porn itself but to specifically get more money from the dancing they were doing [going feature] or escorting [raising their prices to "porn star" rates].
