Am I the only one out there that's really impressed with the acting we're seeing across the board these days?
Are we talking about major network/big studio quality acting? No. There are no J-Laws in porn. But is the acting, perhaps for the first time since the 70's, consistently good enough to actually suspend disbelief and immerse oneself into the fantasy portrayed?
Quite possibly.
There have always been a few actresses/actors that have stood out in any era of porn. But I personally don't think there has been an era where there has been so much, performed so well.
What do you all think?

Who do you think the current standouts are?
I have definitely seen some that I thought did a great job. Both Dane Cross and Nora Belle I thought were great in Couch Surfing. I thought Cherry Torn and Veruca James were absolutely amazing in Deception. She didn't have much for lines, but I thought Sara Luvv did a great job with the character of Ronnie in Babysitting the Baumgartners.

I'm often impressed and wish people got more opportunities to act so they can improve.

Flash, a few the actresses that stand out to me are the likes of Carter Cruise, India Summer, Cherie DeVille, Shyla Jennings, and Dana Vespoli among honestly, countless others these days whom I think are more than adequate actors. As far as guys, Ryan Mclane, Tyler Nixon, Xander Corvus, and Steven St. Croix are again, among quite a few who are quite good.
If you take your average vignette piece these days (say, something from NS/DS), there's rarely a time I find myself completely snapped out of the fantasy by poor acting.
FWIW, I know some of this also boils down to much better production in general. The directors and editors are definitely doing their part to put the performers' best foot forward.
All I know is that I'm happier with the state of things in vignette/feature land than ever before, at least as it pertains to acting.
