Dear [Redacted],
Thank you for writing to Adult Industry News (AINews.xxx) with your question. Usually the best way to get into the Adult Industry is to come in with a new girl who requests she do scenes with you at first. This would give you some exposure and prove to what directors that shoot the girl and you that you indeed can perform.
One must be in the southern California area for the best chance at getting into the Industry. Most of the scenes shot in the United States are shot in and around the San Fernando Valley.
Normally I would discourage someone from performing sex in front of the camera because it tends to close the door on other occupations. These decisions are things you can’t undo.
You, however, seem to have a resolve and commitment not usually found in a civilian wanting to join the ranks. I would council you to be careful not to get a boob job or cut your penis off in haste, as these decisions are even more final and permanent among things you can’t undo. Ask yourself what you would do if a career in porn doesn’t work out for you, or if there might be things about your new life in porn that you may not like.
I hope I was helpful.
Sincerely,
Steve Nelson

Kindly do the needful

Dear [Redacted],
The day of the contract is waning. Very few people get under contract and the amount is dwindling. You have to have a body of work to be considered. I strongly suggest you evaluate your situation before altering your body. You need to be in Southern California and observe the Industry before you make life-altering decisions. I advise you do not cut off your penis, get boobs, and Then come to America – only to find out you can’t get work. Find out first, from people you meet and trust here in the Industry, and do not take other’s word for it, or rely on email. Seek information in person and face to face.
Sincerely,

Thanks Steve.
Sorry for the Late response as I was out of the town.
I would like to have the contacts of the production house owners or the producers who are into the Ladyboy (Shemale) porn production.
They can be from any part of the world. I am even ready for the contract with the house for being the exclusive porn model or escort for them. I am ready to relocate anywhere as per there requirement and abide by all their terms & conditions.
Regards,
[Redacted]

Hi [Redacted],
Like I told you, you will not get contracts. You have to be living in Southern California to get hired here. Don’t cut off your penis or get boobs specifically to pursue a career in porn.
Only undergo surgery if you truly, personally want to be that way in other jobs as well as your ideal job. Imagine yourself as a clerk dealing with the public or as a professional in an office. Does that fit in with your image of your future self? Always keep your options open and never burn your bridges.
For shemale porn I have a couple of contacts that might know where you could find some work if you meet the criterion above. They will not “give you a contract” and you may not get enough work to make a living without having other jobs outside the Adult Industry.
This is the truth, I don’t want you to get false hope.
Here are people who shoot Ladyboy/Shemale, or who know people who do, who I would introduce you to if you were here:
I saw Joey Silvera last night, he has a line of Shemale DVDs. He’s with Evil Angel. Debi Diamond has shot DVDs using Shemales. Debi Diamond Productions. Jason Sechrest, DV8 Casting, might know more people. He handles a lot of Gay talent. Another Jason, I forget his last name – I would bring you to where he shoots on a “go-see” – he knows a lot of people on the Gay side of the industry, he may be able to help too.
You can search these people out yourself but basically you will hear the same from them that I have already told you. Isn’t there an Adult Industry in India?
I have to get to work now, I’m sorry I can’t help you further.
Sincerely,
Steve Nelson
