“I was like if he takes me I’ ll stay and I’ll keep working. If he doesn’t take me, then I’m just going to go home.”
Camryn demonstrated what she can do at top speed in 2023 in multiple outings for studios such as Vixen Media Group, Team Skeet, Bellesa, Naughty America, Evil Angel, Elegant Angel, PervCity and Mike Adriano, among dozens of others.
She tells me that securing a roster spot at the Spiegler Girls agency in May 2022 changed her career trajectory almost overnight.
Chanel had booked her flight back to Alaska with no plans to return to Porn Valley when she got word from Mark Spiegler’s longtime right-hand man, George Jiries, that he would take a meeting with her.
The revered talent agent Spiegler now has represented six Best New Starlets since 2012 and eight of the past 11 winners of the AVN Female Performer of the Year award.
“When I met Spiegler it was actually Friday the 13th. I was supposed to fly home that day and I wasn’t going to come back,” Camryn recalls, adding that she considered one other agency at the time but it wasn’t a fit. “I was like if he takes me I’ll stay and I’ll keep working. If he doesn’t take me, then I’m just going to go home.”
She figured it was a long shot.
“So I pushed my flight back and met with him instead,” Camryn continues. “And I spent five or six hours at his apartment just talking to him, getting to know him.
“Spiegler wants to get to know you as a person. Because not only do you need to be a really good performer but you need to be compatible with your agent in a way, mentally at least, or it’s like the relationship will fail.”
Wise beyond her years, she also came prepared. Before her most recent job as a bikini barista, Camryn helped open a skilled-nursing facility in Alaska. She began as an assistant administrator at 17 and soon found herself managing the place, writing all the policies, handling payroll, doing HR and supervising people over twice her age a year later.
“When I got into the industry I kept track of every single scene I had done, every director I had worked for, every company, their contact information,” Camryn says. “So when I went to meet Spiegler I treated it like a job interview. I was like here’s my photos, here’s everything I’ve done. He looked through it. I think he respected that, you could tell.
“That yes, I was 20, but I had my shit together and I pretty much told him I am very serious about this. And I want to be able to do it but I need someone who’s going to give me the ability to do that.
“If you give me what I need I will prove myself.”
