Every day seems to bring a slew of new faces to the various websites. With so many women willing to suck and fuck on camera, how can a performer distinguish herself?
I know from a producer's perspective, showing up on time and sober, with a good attitude and an awareness of whatever time constraints might apply, would work to her advantage.
But, from the fan's perspective, aside from her looks, how could she distinguish herself from those with whom she's competing for camera time and your attention?
My own thoughts: Women who routinely appear wearing better-than-casual attire; women whose hair and makeup appear to be done with an eye toward attracting a man's attention; women with great legs who do every scene in black or white hose; women who fuck instead of simply being the next pincushion; a woman who lavishes oral attention on a just-spent cock; and my nirvana -- a woman who absolutely refuses to allow guys to jack off on her face but who finishes him off herself.

I forgot to anticipate the sure-to-come list of circus acts.

I have to disagree about setting a star's looks aside--I think it helps a great deal for an adult actress to be stunningly beautiful. Think about it--every big-name female star from Annette Haven to Seka to Ginger Lynn to Angel Kelly to Stacy Valentine to Sasha Grey and hundreds more of every age, race, size and sexual versatility has been utterly drop-dead gorgeous, as gorgeous as any magazine model or pop singer or movie or TV star. Consider for a moment your favorite adult actress--wouldn't you say she compares favorably to any mainstream popular personality? I know I would.
If the woman is beautiful, circus acts aren't necessary. It also helps if she sticks to the industry for a while, rather than bail out after six weeks or whenever she gets a steady boyfriend. Doing personal appearances and feature dancing would help too, even if feature dancing isn't as popular as it was in the '80s/'90s. What also helps if she has her own dedicated website with her active involvement, rather than someone else doing it for her or only having a MySpace or FaceBook page--although having those would help her maintain accessability with her fans, which is as important as anything else I've mentioned.
Hope that helps.

If I think she's hot, I'm a fan.

Holding off on the tattoos and surgery definitely makes a girl stand out these days.
Apart from looks, energy and personality are everything. Penny Flame was always one of my favourites because of the humour and sense of fun she brought to so many of her scenes. The fact that she didn't do anal or group sex didn't matter.

A girl sets herself apart by being a performer rather than going through the motions. For me Gianna Michaels is one of the best performers, everything she does seems natural and in the moment. So basically a girl who can take over a scene rather than just be thrown around from one position to another. Also skills are a must, Annette Schwarz deep throat abilities make me a lifelong fan.
Also girls need to look to girls who do it for fun rather than cash, some of the best performances come from pro-am girls.

Staying in touch with the fans! Updating twitter regularly, posting on here, etc.

She can distinguish herself by loving what she does. Most of the newbies, no matter how hot they are, seem like they are going through the motions.
But some girls have the X factor and some girls just don't. I don't know why Tanner Mayes is one of the hottest girls ever. She just is. She knows she is. Maybe that's the trick. It's all a mystery.
You can come up with a wacky name and a wacky look, but if the fans get even one inkling that you don't like what you're doing, then you're done.
If you want an example of a new girl who is cute and hot and seems to like fucking on camera, the best one I can think of right now is Bailey Lane. That's how she is distinguishing herself to me, at least. She gives off the same heat and energy that, say, Mindy Lynn does, or London Keys does, or Tanner does.
Anybody can be a freak show if they want. How many people are still watching Jasmin St. Claire?

Tanner to me seems to have lost something...newness? genuine?...scenes now are more like what outrageous thing can she say and a put on. I was one of her biggest fans and still am. Katie St Ives has it now. Her scenes are hot and you get the sense she is really into it and not a fake...

I really do enjoy what I do! Sometimes wish I could work more, but I'm not greedy. :) Even when the days are long I always leave everyone with a smile. I still get that pit of my stomach nervous feeling before a scene but it's more of like excitment! It just makes my scenes that much better.

The first thing that any girl wanting to distiguish herself from the pack should do is make sure that this is something she wants to do and understands all that it will entail. Doing porn for quick cash is the surest way to quickly leaving porn. Once you undertand that porn is a business and that pornstar is your job then you are ahead of many. Like most jobs, you have a schedule to keep. If you remember to show up on time or even better ahead of time. Learn the lines you were suppose to(if you have any). Treat other people like you would like to be treated. Avoid any comparaison with other girls. Once you compare yourself to others than you are likely to come out on the losing side since we are often our worse critics. Avoid using drugs and limit your alcohol intake. If you need either to make a situation better than I can guarantee that soon every situation will require either or both.
I often hear the argument that pot or booze is not a problem but frankly if that were the case then why smoke pot or drink alcohol in the first place?
Avoid changing names and looks in the beginning. This is less common in America as oppose to Europe but it still happens. It makes looking for content harder and that can mean less fans. The changing of looks is even more important because You may gain some new fans but you are almost guaranteed to lose many more. I'm not talking a hair cut or dye job either(see implants, tattoos, and plastic surgery).
Try to work for as many companies as possible. Limiting yourself to a couple may seem like a good idea but you will also limit your fan base from the people that don't like these companies. You may want to inquire with other performer about some companies before you take a job. Not every company is suited for you and one bad experience can mean that you nevcer want to do this.

smiling deliberately and making it look spontaneous and natural is a huge part of mainstream acting. it's the muscles around the eyes as much as the mouth.
the science of attractiveness is discussed in more detail in The Human Face, which i saw on TLC several years ago. i don't know where it can be seen now, but there are probably lots of other documentaries about attractiveness and sexuality. i saw some show that mentioned female breasts increase in size by 25% in the arousal process. watching that in zoom was pretty hot. i'd rather see breasts that become swollen than implants that conceal or prevent swelling.
