I'm curious about how one becomes a talent scout?
Who and what do you need to know?
How's the money?


I'm curious in regard to scouting talent for modeling and films.

There's no rule book, just do it! Approach hot, barely legal girls everywhere -- malls, colleges and strip clubs are good places to start. Inform them of the fantastic opportunities in porn for hard working starlets. Emphasize the high pay, fun, glamour and fame. Try to get some bites!

I would try to arrange some deals with producers and/or agents in advance. Many will pay referral fees.

Good luck!

Living in LA or near porn valley will help your chances.

There's alot of hot chicks in Florida, where I'm from. I also work part-time as a personal trainer. I meet more hot young girls on the beach and at the gym than I can count in a week.

It would be a cool job, but the amount of time a girl has to change her mind before taking a cross country trip to porn valley is too much. Probably end up with alot of chicks getting cold feet...

You might also need to get used to being slapped.

You know, I wouldn't recommend this at a mall, as it is not public property. I'd try the beach or something like that.

Way to get rid of "and hilarity ensues"

If you have no game, you probably have no chance. Like any sales job, you need to be able to deliver the goods.

And why is that, Realtip? Seriously...do you know this first hand?

Are we heading towards another of Realtip's self-important pep talks on the downsides of porn, an industry which he oft shows little support?

Maybe a way of avoiding the possibility of being slapped would be to put up an advertisement some where (where it's legal to do so) like at a club or on the internet. That way, they come to you rather than you going to them with a chance of looking like this .

Soliciting work in porn in a mall would probably get me lynched.

I'm not talking just about porn. I'm concerned with modelling also.

How would I find agencies or studios to whom I could refer this talent, if and when I I found it?

I'm not suggesting you set up a Kiosk in the middle of the mall for this purpose. But, if you saw some very attractive women and tactfully approached them about "modeling" opportunities and gave them your business card, you might have some success.

I've heard quite a few starlets in the industry tell me they were recruited in this fashion.

Here's a link to some of the talent agencies. Check the "One Model Place" agency if you want to find a lot of models.
