LOS ANGELES — The Daily Beast spoke with three top female performers this week — Whitney Wright, Emily Willis and Daisy Ducati — about their pre-scene prep routines.
Wright spoke about doing character breakdowns to improve her acting and Willis spoke about keeping herself in shape, while Ducati revealed tips and tricks to ensure her body is ready for action.
"I like to do the character breakdown and make sure I’m fully prepared with knowing my lines and knowing my character’s backstory, even if I’m making it up," Wright told writer Aurora Snow. "I love taboo, story-driven porn. That’s the kind of porn I liked to watch before I got into the industry and I feel like the nominations and awards you get for that is a bigger payoff, showing the range and capabilities of what an adult performer can do."
Wright discussed how, since moving into directing, she asks her actors to use the same technique.
"I see a real difference when people do it versus, say, when I have someone cancel and someone comes in and they can’t do a breakdown because we’re three hours behind," Wright told Snow. "Not only does it sound like they’re not delivering the lines the way a real person would, it sounds like they’re just reading."
According to Willis, the key is being in top shape and looking as good as possible.
"I tend to bruise really bad, so I usually take arnica pills to help me not bruise," Willis said. "A lot of companies won’t shoot you if you’re bruised."
She also described her diet and exercise regimen: protein shakes, regular immunity shots and workouts with a trainer to improve her stamina.
"We have to treat ourselves like athletes," she told the Daily Beast.
For Ducati, who does a lot of anal work, preparation is everything.
"A lot of people don’t realize the sheer amount of time involved, and how often you spend way more time prepping for [a scene] than actually doing it," she told Snow. "I do some preliminary stretching... I have certain toys I like to use; my favorite is this inflatable butt plug. I like it because it doesn’t cause too much friction before a scene. Sometimes you can accidentally wear your butt out before you even start."
