Fine tuning your webcam performances

The more email feedback I receive in regards to this blog and the gettingintoporn.com website, the more I've come to realize that many adult industry outsiders and insiders alike, initially are under the impression that a "hot body and pretty face" is all that is needed to become successful in the world of adult entertainment.

I'll admit, that initially I thought the same, but after only a few days of exotic dancing back in 2002, I found out very quickly, that it's your mind above all else, that is a performer's greatest (and ironically most attractive) asset.

Whether you're an exotic dancer, webcam girl, or adult actress - fine tuning and consistently IMPROVING your performance and/or style is a must. Generally the only way to do this, is by asking your clients/audience/who you work with what they think could be better (of course be careful who you take advice from) AND by watching your performances yourself.

If you're an exotic dancer, have someone video tape you while you're dancing in the club or just set up a video camera at home and tape yourself. Critically watch how you move and see if there's anything that you could add or subtract from your style.

If you're an adult actress, watch your movies and scenes. YES, I know watching yourself can be VERY hard to do. Most people who work in performance based industries tend to be a bit insecure and are overly self critical by nature (I know I am), but if you can get over your initial fears of self doubt and watch yourself as if you're watching someone else (really analyzing elements that can be improved on) you'll find that you will become much more natural, relaxed, and self aware in front of the camera.

Exotic dancers, adult actresses, and virtually anyone else in adult entertainment, should also keep up with and be aware of the performance styles of their peers. Not to "copycat" but to simply learn what works (and doesn't work) for who.

Generally the most successful entertainers are those who have seriously fine tuned, their craft and KNOW their craft most thoroughly. It takes a mind to achieve that, not just a hot body or pretty face :)

‘Porn’ in the USA - Lisa Ling investigates webcam models on OWN series "Our America"

story courtesy of New York Post's Linda Stasi

Lisa Ling not only has the best job in America, she does it better than anyone out there right now.

Ling’s job is to investigate the things that fascinate her as a journalist and, as it turns out, fascinate us as viewers. Some are topics I didn’t even realize I was interested in to begin with.

That being said, I can’t imagine how she’s going to top Sunday-night’s season premiere episode, “Amateur Porn.”

With the explosion of Internet porn, the industry that was once behind closed doors is now available in your home 24/7 from any of -- are you ready? -- 24 million Web sites!

Everyday people from legal and medical professionals to (yes) horny housewives are making homemade porn and sometimes making big bucks from it.
Ling found three such -- again, I swear -- married couples who do the nasty in front of their home Webcams for fun and profit.
These folks make even bigger bucks with what they call “privates” -- paid-for sex acts which a client can direct from his or her own home. Privates for their privates!

One couple, cute 20-somethings Tyler and Berkley have a 20-month-old daughter and nightly perform every imaginable sex act for their long-distant clients. They say they’ll deal with telling her when she’s old enough to understand. Or not.
Obese 25-year-old Julie and her husband, Richard, have four young boys and have just quit the having-sex-for-bucks porn biz because it was, among other things, ruining their sex life. OK.

The most amazing and repulsive porn purveyor, however, is 50-year-old grandmother Sierra, a country club wife and her skeevy husband, Patrick. Realtors by day, porn performer and director by night. “Being on porn is like winning ‘American Idol,’ ” Sierra says.

She’s kept it hidden from her successful daughter, who is told off-camera by her mother about her nighttime job. The daughter, we’re told, went bonkers, crying, “You are going to ruin everything I’ve worked for if [anyone we know] ever finds out!”

So, ever-understanding mom, Sierra, on national TV, recruits a woman her daughter’s age for lady-on-girl sex for her next live Webcam.
