Today we’d like to introduce you to Timeca Seretti.
Hi Timeca, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’m originally from Gary, Indiana where I always dreamed of being an entertainer. After I left the US Navy I decided to pursue it. I started doing extra work in Chicago when I was enrolled at Indiana University. I was studying theater. A friend invited me to Austin, Texas and not really knowing what the acting scene was like here, I moved in 2001. I loved Austin’s cool laid back style, but the acting jobs were coming far and few between.
So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and start creating. I started Wild Child entertainment and since have executive produced, written and directed several projects, including two of my award winning short films. I was recently cast in two feature films which will be shooting in May and June respectively here in Texas. Also since being in Austin I have taken on chasing another one of my passions… music. I mean Austin is the music capitol of the world after all. I am currently the lead singer for the local blues/rock band Blue Vibe. And I also write and produce my own music. I just released a new song titled “You” which is currently out on all streaming platforms. I am currently writing a pilot, a feature film and looking forward to releasing more music over the next few months.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
LOL… it has by no means been a smooth road. Trying to do all that I just detailed along with being a mother. There were times I couldn’t do the things I wanted to do because I had to also work a regular job and provide for my son. There was also the weight of a failed marriage. My ex-husband did not see the vision for me like I did. Thank God I have a very supportive husband now who supports all that I do. Those were the outward struggles. But there were many inside that almost kept me from pursuing the arts. Self-doubt for one, I think it’s natural for us when we begin a new journey to be scared and to think “am I really good at this”? Well, I have been on this journey for quite a long time and I now know what I wish I had known back then.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I have adopted the moniker Renaissance woman, because it encapsulates all that I am. I don’t just do one thing, I’m an actress, writer, producer, director, singer, songwriter, music producer, stand-up comedian. But, if I had to pick just one that I was well known for it would be acting. Because that is where I got my start in the arts. And at this point what sets me apart from others is my drive. If I want to do something, I just go after it. There are no if, ands, buts or maybes… There is only do.
What matters most to you? Why?
I would say family matters most to me, My grand daughter was born during the pandemic and unlike some other people I was really enjoying my time at home with her. I have one child, a son. But my husband has three… so we are two short of the Brady Bunch, LOL. I just love that our house is the epicenter of our friends and family. It doesn’t hurt that we have a pool, the BBQ grill is constantly going and the bar is always fully stocked.
