Have you ever wanted to break into the billion dollar porn industry, only to be held back by a lack of knowledge of what steps to take? Have no fear! We’ve compiled some of the hottest insider secrets of what it takes to break into the Adult Entertainment Industry and what you’ll need to do to become a porn star!
Body Types: Everyone Is Beautiful, But Try To Keep It Tight!
One of the best things about sex is it’s a completely normal aspect of human life, so it’s natural that bodies of all shapes and sizes would be found attractive. Of course the healthier and more in-shape you’re in the better your chances are, because everyone loves looking at beautiful bodies. Regular exercise is really good idea if you are seriously considering becoming a porn star. Plus, it will improve your performance in front of the camera. It also helps to try and stay as well groomed as possible, and it can dramatically improve your appearance too!
Fetishes: There’s A Pot For Every Lid!
Fetishes are kind of like the niche market for the Adult Entertainment Industry. You name it, someone out there is into it. Bondage, Leather and Latex, Tattoos and Body Piercings just to name a few! There are literally thousands of fetish focused sites and agencies out there waiting for someone just like you to join their ranks. Even if you aren’t fit as a superhero, there’s still plenty of opportunities out there. Hairy and overweight? There’s a crowd for that. Covered in tattoos and body piercings? There’s definitely a crowd for that, so make sure to keep your options open.
Modeling: Good Way to Get Your Foot in the Door!
You may not think it, but actually taking pictures with your clothes on is a great way to get a start towards the porn industry. There are many modeling sites and forums where members are encouraged to network and share their pictures, and producers and talent agents for the adult film industry often scour these sites looking for the hottest new talent. Without photographs, it’s hard to be seen! So it’s advised that you have some professional pictures taken and use modeling sites to help get some added exposure.

Three Words: Location, Location, Location
It really helps to be located in a big city, as there’s naturally more people to network and work with. Some good examples are cities like New York, San Francisco, Miami, Amsterdam, Prague, London, Budapest, Montreal, Toronto, Vegas, even Minneapolis all have decent adult film studios. But over 95% of the top adult film producers are located in “Porn Valley”, which is the San Fernando Valley in North Los Angeles, California. Being located in or near that region of the United States dramatically increases your chances of becoming a porn star because you’ll have more opportunities to network, although it’s not a necessity.
Websites: Not in the Porn Valley? No Problem!
There are literally thousands upon thousands of adult entertainment sites on the web. There are many independent producers and film studios operating all over the world, so chances are there’s one pretty close to you. Maybe you’ve found a certain niche that seems right up your alley? If so, try to contact the owners via their website and see if you can arrange an appointment to audition as new talent.

You may be required to travel, but the world-wide exposure will definitely be worth it!
Auditions: Better to Visit in Person than Send Pictures!
Just like a job interview, it’s often better to show up in person rather than send in some pictures and cross your fingers. That way you can get right in front of the people making the decision whether or not to hire you, and your personality really has a chance to shine through and help you stand out. Fair warning though, be prepared to perform on the spot! Being that’s the whole nature of the business, the producers will want to see if you’ve got what it takes. It’s a good idea to bring a current STD test with you to show that you are healthy and safe to work with. All that being said, it is still possible to land a gig without having to visit the studio in person (it’s not always feasible to fly or drive long distances just for an interview or audition). We encourage you to apply online through our website where we can quickly get the word out about you if we think you have potential to make it big. This can really help streamline the process.
If you’re a male, it’s a little harder so your best bet is to take someone attractive with you (specifically a really hot female!) and have her tell the studio that she’s only willing to work with you. They will always be willing to hire a hot girl for a shoot, so if she’ll only work with you it’s pretty much a guarantee to get your foot in the door! Plus it may be someone you are comfortable with or who already knows what moves will send you over the top, so it can help reduce those first time nerves and improve your performance.
Callbacks: After My First Scene, What Comes Next?
If all goes well on your first shoot, there’s a very good chance that the studio or producer will call you back soon and invite you for another scene. But don’t stop there! Keep on going to auditions until you make it! Market yourself! Before you know it, you have more people beating down your door to work with you than you can handle! Just like anything else in life, the key to success is perseverance and the will to keep trying until you make it. Follow the advice in this article, and your chances of becoming a porn star will greatly be increased!
