This sounds so like the guy who told a model friend of mine...I have worked with all the top models...when she asked him to give her some references he said there were too many to mention...when asked to name one or two so she could check up he stopped emailing!

'Gail Wind'? Come on...surely that must set some alarm bells ringing? Sounds like the crappiest superhero secret identity you could hope to come up with...you know, 'Mild-mannered meteorologist by day, Gail Wind fights crime as Gale Force in the Windy City!!!'

Sorry, this is a stone cold scam...save yourself a wasted journey Katalin!

Plus, if Cumpact.com are the biggest supplier of adult material to cable stations, how come no-one's ever heard of them? You can smell the bull on this lot from a mile off!!!

And you would think that the biggest supplier to the US cable channels would at least have a website...now I'm rather thinking that it would be called www.cumpact.com but as that doesnt exist I think that they are talking BULLSHIT! Katalin, seriously, don't even entertain the bizarre wild notion of finding out...you are totally and utterly wasting your time if you do.

That said...if you wanna work for nothing in return for train fair you are welcome to come to Nottingham any time! Hell I will even give you a copy of the photos for your portfolio, something I doubt you would get from them.

Auditioning for porn and auditioning for acting or modelling (inc glamour)work are worlds apart anyway. If you are auditioning for modelling or acting than you are demonstrating your skills and looks but if you are auditioning for hardcore (ie non glamour) porn, for example, by doing a solo masturbation scene with a vibrator or even a girl-girl then it's not just acting, it's real sex and someone is getting away with a very cheap thrill. The potential for getting ripped off is huge.

I'm glad Katalin is taking someone with her as well.

OK, it depends what the audition involves. I have never produced a porno, but it's something I plan to do just the once at some stage in my life/career (most of my other ambitions - from being shortlisted for a BAFTA to being sucked off by a pop star - have been sated). When I get round to it, and I'm in no rush, I would not even consider casting anyone without an audition...

...BUT... (and I suspect this is a huge butt)

...I wouldn't expect any nudity let alone sex at the auditions, nor would I even consider filming or photographing them. The auditions would be to check if the performers can talk and act confidently and naturally (I hate gonzo and would love to see a porno-with-plot where it doesn't look like the performers are reading the lines off the back of their hand); to see whether the respective male and female performers actually have a chemistry together, be it a friendship or a loathing (depending on the mood of the scene either could be required - a hate-fuck and a friend-fuck are very different things, but both equally photogenic); and most of all to check they are all nice, stable and reliable people.

That's not too much to ask is it?

You don't ask Julia Roberts to audition to see if she can act. You don't ask Angel-Long to audition to see if she can suck cock. There are filmographies in both cases that attest to these performers skills, and it would it be a pisstake to think otherwise. You ask people to audition to see if the performers get along together and if they are right for the particular role, character, theme and/or fetish of the scene/movie you wish to film (and if not, whether there is a different role or pairing they are better suited to). Surely that should be the same whether it's porn or Shakespeare...

...but sadly I fear that it isn't. These days porn is seemingly more about a random badly-(un)dressed woman going "ooh, I've got an 18 year old pussy, your cocks are so big" as three clumsy blokes fuck her in the standard oral/vaginal/anal/DP/pop cycle that every punter got bored of five years ago. So why is porn so staid? Because producer-directors make dozens and dozens of films, and anyone who does the same job for so long quickly slips into a robotic routine.

That's why when I do make a porno I will only make the one. The same way no band should be allowed to make more than one album (and some - eg Busted, Travis and the Ian Mitchell Band - shouldn't have been allowed to make any). People get staid. Tarantino took five years off 'cause he thought he'd burnt himself out, and he'd only made four films, ffs!

In summary, no-one needs to audition to be fucked over a Teacrate box in a flat in Hastings by a bloke with a Spurs shirt, beer belly and no sense of rhythm. But hopefully one day a time will come when every porn film requires every cast member to audition for non-sex aspects of their casting. Quality not quantity, they used to say. Short of getting Sony to charge ?50k for a camcorder, how the fuck else are we going to bring that back?
