LOS ANGELES—When Victoria Voxxx played collegiate softball she brought an energy to the field that lifted her teammates.
“I wasn’t afraid to lead by example or work harder than everybody else,” Voxxx says.
“If I was on the field my team played different. If I was pitching, my team played for me…They wanted to play for me. I was aware of that and my coaches were aware of that.”
Now Victoria leads in a different way—whether she’s on stage performing with her rock band Voxxx or on the set for many of the top studios in adult.
And not unlike her softball days, she’s not afraid to show her emotions.
“If you want to get super dramatic, I will get super dramatic,” Voxxx says. “I will cry on camera, I will get crazy on camera.
“The more levels of myself that I can reveal to people through a lens the more inspired I am to do it again.”
It’s why Voxxx in the past five years has earned a stellar reputation in industry circles, becoming a go-to girl for heavyweight studios such as Adult Time, which recently cast her in a new scene for the Lez Be Bad series opposite Whitney Wright.
The dreamy pair commemorate their union in “Leather Anniversary,” an episode from the Adult Time Original Series directed by Stella Smut that debuted earlier this summer.
“Lez Be Bad was really fun to shoot. First of all I love working with Stella and I love working with Bree [Mills],” Victoria says, referring to the studio’s Chief Creative Officer.
“Talk about two people who have really supported my career and development as an adult actor. Those two have really been behind me. Adult Time has really been behind me. And Bree and I grow closer every time we get to work together.
“So when she approached me about Lez Be Bad I was extremely excited because I love women and I love leather.”
Voxxx tells AVN her chemistry with Wright is natural. They’ve been on set together several times and performed together once before meeting for Lez Be Bad.
“Oh my god Whitney Wright cracks me up every time I’m on set with her,” Victoria says. “And then Bree being there. It just was a perfect recipe for a really awesome shoot and I love that they take the time as a company to set the day up to be foolproof.”
Voxxx also squared off with Casey Calvert and Maya Woulfe for an episode of a new series created by Lauren Phillips called Switch.
“Everyone I’ve worked with at Adult Time has never been anything short of encouraging,” Victoria says. “I work with a lot of people for Adult Time and have actually been able to write some of the script.
“And they are excited by my enthusiasm for acting.”
Just ask Mills, who says that she and Voxxx have developed an exceptional working relationship.
“I've had fantastic conversations with Victoria on set that have inspired our work together,” Bree tells AVN. “During the shooting of the Switch series, we discussed polyamory and her experiences in open relationships.
“This led to a collaboration on an episode of The Yes List, which focuses on realistic situations and conversations about sex. The episode, co-written by Victoria, became our most viewed of the series. We've gone on to involve her in other new series we're developing, and our creative friendship has been beautiful and organic.”
Mills calls Voxxx “a highly intelligent, articulate, and expressive artist.”
“She uses her art as a means of expression in music, acting, and sex performance, which resonates with me personally,” Bree continues. “I had heard about her before meeting her through recommendations from other performers I work with.
“Most notably, I remember before Casey Calvert went exclusive with Lust Cinema we were developing a film project of hers for Adult Time and her only request to me was to cast Victoria in it…because she was so struck by her.
“I always think back to that moment when I think about how much both of them have grown in the years since!”
Once Victoria made up her mind to begin her career in adult she went for it from the start, taking on challenging scenes with no hesitation.
"I didn’t really tip-toe,” she says. “I kind of dove straight in all the way. I wanted to do the gangbangs. I wanted to get suspended, I wanted to do anal.
“I wanted to experience every scenario, even if it wasn’t my direct fantasy because my main goal as an artist is to make people feel something.”
Now she prepares for set knowing she’s just as capable of getting gritty in a gonzo scene as she is bringing a character to life in a high-stakes drama—and she already has the resume to prove it.
Armed with more than 260 credits for just about every major studio in the industry, Voxxx has established herself as one of the business’ prime-time players—a performer who elevates a project.
And now her porn career supports her burgeoning music career.
“This job and this world and this industry developed me as an artist and I fell in love with it,” Victoria says. “So I got really lucky making the right decision for myself to be here and now I’m so fortunate to have a career that I never thought I would have.
“I’m just as proud of the filthy, terrible things that I’ve done on camera as I am of the acting, as I am of my music. Because being able to be so vulnerable and so primal and so able to be free and communicative on camera—off camera it developed my ability to feel.”
In fact, Voxxx says everything that's happened since she decided to leave her roots in the Midwest has led to this moment. She released “Suffering”—the first song she wrote with her band—in June.
Voxxx and her bandmates wrote “Suffering” during quarantine.
“I remember hanging my head off the side of my bed kind of mumbling into the microphone the lyrics that I was sexting to a guy at the time and that’s how we came up with the song,” Victoria says.
“So to finally after years have it done and out—and it sounds so much better than I thought it was going to, than I could’ve imagined—is very satisfying just because I got to watch the song grow.”
Born in Phoenix, Voxxx moved a lot when she was younger, spending a lot of time in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, near Kansas City, before attending high school in Denver.
“I’m a Midwest girl through and through,” she says.
Victoria grew up in what she calls “a very classical music family.”
“We weren’t really allowed to listen to anything other than classical or operatic music growing up. It was a very Catholic family—my dad’s a great singer,” she says. “So naturally I ran away to college and played softball for a few years and during that time I really explored the things that I love like athletics, sex and music.
“And that really lended itself to rock ’n roll.
“It’s essentially everything I was really longing to explore and never really could have the freedom to do in my house.”
As Voxxx went further into her studies in writing and editing with a concentration in creative writing and 18th century poetry, she recalls how “lyrics were pouring out of me like crazy.”
“And I knew I wanted to sing. I want to be on the stage and I want to be singing my own songs,” she says.
So after graduation, she moved to Vegas and got a job as a stripper at night so she could have her days free to find herself in music.
"And that plan did not get executed the way I had hoped it would. Because stripping is a very difficult job. Or it was for me,” she says with a laugh.
She says upon landing in Sin City that she found an all-girl Runaways tribute band called The Queens of Noise, which had recently lost their singer.
“And I joined the band and we started rehearsing together and they were super supportive of my lifestyle choices and career and in fact the guitar player at the time had had a career in adult,” Victoria explains.
Sometimes Voxxx would come to band rehearsal and vent about “having to beg these guys to let me give them a dance” at the club.
And her bandmate asked her, “‘Well, have you ever done porn? Have you ever thought about doing porn?’”
“And I was like, ‘No, I don’t have boobies, I’m a very regular-looking girl. I can’t do porn, what are you talking about?’” Voxxx says. “And she was like, ‘You’re an idiot. In fact, you can do porn.’
“So she told me to find an agency. So I googled ‘how to find a porn agency’ and I emailed every porn agency and every single one of them called me back. And I was mind-blown and then I was like, ‘Holy shit, am I gonna do porn?’ Oh my god, what am I thinking? I just wanted to be a musician.”
Now a thriving independent model, Voxxx is finding a balance between her music endeavors and her shooting schedule. This summer she shot a music video for her first single, “Without You,” that is part of Lust Cinema’s Primary Season 3—a high-profile continuing series in which Voxxx has a principal role. The director Casey Calvert weaved Victoria’s musical talents into the storyline—her character Olivia finally gets her big break in Season 3.
Victoria, whose band plays at various Vegas venues such as her “home club” Vamped, at press time was working on another single that will be unveiled in September along with her music video.
She tells AVN that softball was “a huge part of my life” growing up as the second oldest of six kids.
“Sports in general,” Victoria recalls. “In fact it’s the reason it took me so long to really pursue and commit to music. My father had decided that I was the athlete… My dad always told me that I have the kill within me like he did.”
Voxxx played softball every year since she was 8, starring not only on the varsity team, but also excelling in offseason competitive softball. She pitched all through high school and during offseason ball she also played shortstop.
“That’s how I got recruited to go to college as a shortstop,” Voxxx, who received a full scholarship to play softball, tells AVN. “I’m really fast and when you get to college and your coach sees that you’re one of the fastest girls in the division you get put in the outfield real fast.”
During her freshman year she trained to play in the outfield for the first time in her career, but then the team’s starting catcher broke her back right before the season started.
Voxxx had been catching bullpens and knew how to frame pitches, so getting behind the plate wasn’t totally foreign to her.
“So my freshman year I ended up catching and I loved it,” she says. “I was good enough to get the job done.”
And by the end of her freshman year, Voxxx was voted team captain.
"Softball will always be a part of me," she says.
