I realize that in many instances acting talent is not a requirement in any kind of porn, but you must admit that no matter how beautiful the subjects might be it detracts greatly from the excitement, the entertainment if they act and sound as though they are in an elementary school play performing in front of their friends for the first time in their lives. In some instances I have to wonder if they are just incapable of even reading lines that are more complicated than "OH YEAH BABY" over and over for an entire half hour. And facial _expression can add or detract so much from a scene as well.

I know a half hour scene can take an entire day or longer to film and I'm sure by the time it's over all participants are going thru the same things mentally that those of us who have a regular job do, but it is so much better when the performers actually put forth an effort to show they are really getting into it and "sell" the scene rather than merely plod through it like some I have seen.

I'm not interested in knowing any names of the worst ones, but I will say that in my so far very limited viewing experience Vicki Richter is one girl I have never seen "tank" a scene. Certainly she is better in some than others and there can be a myriad of reasons for that but even when she's having an off day for whatever reason she outperforms the best efforts of many I've seen, but she is by no means the only girl to do so.

I am not trying in any way to belittle the efforts of the girls who speak no English but give it their best effort, and I realize they usually have no choice in the matter but personally I would rather hear the emotion they are capable of expressing in their native Portuguese or whatever other language they might speak than very unemotional English.

I'd like to hear from both performers and viewers on this subject, I'd like to know which TGirls you consider to be some of the better ones at "selling" a scene, and I'd also really enjoy some of you who perform in front of the camera telling us some of the difficulties involved in keeping up the appearance of intensity and emotion under such circumstances.
