We have posters who have their favorite performers. However, I haven't come across a thread that talks about what qualities it takes to be a good or exceptional adult adult performer. Without naming names, what makes a male and/or female talent bad, average, good and/or exceptional performer in your eyes?

An exceptional performer projects believable heat and passion in their sex scenes.

^^Yes, agreed. I'm personally not interested in watching performers who I don't find attractive (body or face). However, being a good looking (well-endowed man) or woman who is willing to have sex on camera doesn't make you a good or exceptional performer either to me. A performer willing to perform a variety of sex acts doesn't make them a standout to me. I look at chemistry and passion in the scenes. Does the performer consistently generate passion and heat with their scene partners? I see really beautiful and very popular girls out there now that I scratch my head about. They do a lot of stuff (poorly in many cases) but there's no passion or heat in their scenes. Their male scene partners seem to be going thru the motions with them. Yet, they are huge stars. I find them boring. Go figure.

Well first off for a female performer, obviously have to be good looking. Second is definitely dirty talk/energy. I don't want a female performer just moaning or saying "Oh yeah" for an entire scene. Whenever there is a new performer I always hope she has good dirty talk, if she's gorgeous and doesn't and just moans...next! Like mentioned above, definitely believable sex/passion.

Some performers are so good that even though they aren't my type I end up liking them. Riley Reid (too skinny to be my type) is one example. Annette Schwarz, skinny, blonde and 'extreme' (although with a very nice ass) is another.

Guy has no annoying attitudes, won't spit, like Billy Glide and Mark Ashley did, will grab on to baby oil instead of using spit, doesn't look sleepy or uninterested, as in never to let his ass leave couch, he's making little noise, just showing off appreciation, 8 + inch cock and a severe appetite for chicks. Not that doing it for the money-kinda guy. And not that covered up in tattoos. Able to do the standing missionary lifting pumping when spinners get in the heat, but I don't believe in upside-lifting for the sake of a BJ no more. Reckognition is a good thing.
Chicks are showing off enthusiasm, good skin condition proving healthy routines, vegans looks better than sausage and burgerjunkies to tell you the truth, but a severe hunger for cockstuffing by meatintroduction is absolutely some kinda demand over here. I'm no fan of GG only chicks, only if they convert. But I'm a sucker for long hair and smiling faces, firm bodies with low bad ass mileage, only less is more messages or artful green and yellow tattoos if they're inked, most importantly showing off some class or skills, as in acts, or tricks, that won't hurt. Yesterday I watched Dani Jensen back in 2009 in a BTS (Farm Fresh #v 2) as she climbed or jumped on to a pole and just nailed it in a fast swing around five times or so. Whoa. They don't need to be like Courtney Simpson walking on their hands cross a room landing in a couch with high heeled shoes, but talents can't be true talents without showing off no tricks or skills outside the cocksucking department. If ass is stuffed that's just the oppositte thing of taking a huge shit in my book. Quite fucking frankly I can't see the trickiness about it.

^Hehe. I will be more descriptive.
Males - Fit body. Little to no tattoos. Attractive face. Slightly above average penis. Not interested in seeing average or below average penis that keeps falling out. Not interested in monster cocks that have to be greased up for the woman to take it. Not interested in seeing half of the cock outside either because it is so big. Girth more important than length. Kisses and caresses his partners. Has energy. Varies is stroke pattern. Seemingly good at oral and spends more than 1 minute doing it. No disrespectful words or actions with female partner. If the woman ain't moaning, you ain't hitting it right. Needs to be consistently getting your scene partners off. If not, I don't consider you a good male performer. Bottom line. Passionate and draws passionate responses from his partners.
Females - Fit body. Little to no tattoos or body modifications. Attractive face (doesn't have to be Victoria Secret looking woman). Curves not big boobs or ass. Good at oral (This doesn't mean excel at deep-throating or getting face-fucked. See Klixen for how to do it right.) Good at hand jobs (See Klixen or Mistress T for how to do it right). Kisses and caresses her partner. Moaning is fine. Dirty talk is preferable but it should flow naturally from your mouth. If not, then keep quiet. Has energy. Doesn't just lay there and take it. Skilled rider. If the man's isn't making sounds of enjoyment, you ain't doing it right. Needs to be consistently getting your scene partners off. If not, I don't consider you a good female performer. Bottom line. Passionate and draws passionate responses from her scene partners.
JMHO.

A good performer, male or female, must make the sex scene believable. I went to think they are having great sex. They must be able to stay in character during the sex scene. I love feature movies, I don't want to watch the character become the actress or actor during the sex scene then return to the character again. And they must be able to handle their non-sexual portions believably.

would also add that a good male performer let always be the female the star of the sex scene and not himself like a few tend to do,like James Deen or Chris Strokes for example.
also for a good male performer is atleast for me,if he not does stuff i as a viewer dislike like Choking or Slapping.
and find a good balance between talking dirty and silence during the sex part.if the dude talks too much during fucking its damn distracting.there you want to hear how the lady enjoyed it and not the dude.
for a good female performer off course not faking too much or too unbelievable.

2. Produce a cumshot on demand
3. You need to be above average size wise
4. You need to be decent looking
5. Could you extract something from the girl

Interesting, I think all top-level performers share a few common traits that are non-negotiable, ie; objective qualities. Then there are subjective qualities that performers possess that makes them appealing based on a viewer's personal preferences. Of course, there is an overlap between the categories and nothing is set in stone, but you can make a general analysis that is pretty accurate for the most part.
As a G/G fan, here are my 2 cents of what makes a good performer when it comes to G/G. Some of these qualities can apply to any genre, but some based on individual tastes are less important than others, and sometimes, not important at all.
Objective Qualities (Non-Negotiable):
1. Physical Attractiveness
2. Passion
3. Enthusiasm
4. Genuine Attraction to Women
5. Good Sexual Technique
6. Great Kisser
Subjective Qualities (Flexible/Personal Preferences)
1. All Natural Body
2. Acting Ability
3. Submissive/Aggressive Personality
4. Dirty Talk
5. Engagement in specific sexual acts.

For me, there are girls who are good performers and there are girls who are favs and sometimes the two can be very different things. I have fav girls I never get tired of watching but they aren't always great performers. Then there girls who I think are great performers but don't do much me. Sometimes my favs are great performers. Sometimes a girl can become a fav because she's a great performer. So I could make a list what makes a great performer but what would be the point since there are some girls I love watching that don't do the stuff on the list...and girls who do everything right that I don't care about watching.
I suspect other people are the same but not even realize it.

BlackSix and Flash have already covered what I would have written. The key word I take from their post is believable. If a performer is able to make what they are doing believable than I know I will be satisfied with their work.
