LAS VEGAS—Alex Tanner has been in some 40 scenes since she started in March, and she told AVN that she’s “actually really proud of my last 20 scenes. I’ve seen an improvement in my work. I watch my scenes. My favorite is ‘Gingers Have No Souls’ with Johnny Sins for Brazzers. I love my Porn Pro scenes and my Evil Angel scene for Joey Silvera with Jessy Jones.”
Tanner watches her scenes—and only her own scenes—to develop her own style. “I want me to have my own look, and others to have their own look. I’ll take pointers, but I want to find my own path. I don’t want to take other people’s signature things.”
She did some acting in school—“musicals and stuff like that”—and “I was always open to [performing in the adult industry]. I contacted someone I knew that had gone into it. I tried it out, loved it. My first scene was for Reality Kings in Florida. In a bathtub. It was fun. I wasn’t freaked out. It just flowed.”
So far, she's thrilled with her new career. “I love the sets, I love the people I work with. I love my agent. I love the girls in my industry. Being on camera is my craving and my hobby. I wake up every morning like I’m going to work. If I don’t have work I’m disappointed.”
The one thing that she wants to do on camera is “a water scene. I have been asking to do a water scene for I don’t know how long. I want a water scene where I get choked and pounded. A little kinky.”
Her words to live by: “Be yourself.”
