Sharlene San Pedro opened up about her journey in the game streaming world.

In an interview with Bianca Gonzalez for the TFC show BRGY, Sharlene shared how her career in gaming started.

"Nung time na nag-start ako mag-gaming was start ng pandemic kasi nung time na 'yun siyempre walang work so parang nag-pause lahat so nung time na 'yun iniisip ko ano kaya ang gagawin ko para makita ako ng supporters ko? So sabi ko naglalaro naman ako so naisip ko mag-mobile games ako para mas marami akong maabot," she recalled.

After she got into gaming, Sharlene started getting partnership offers.

"Nung time na 'yun maraming nag-open na opportunities kasi a few months after nang pag-ge-gaming ko po kinuha ako ng mismong game na nilalaro ko. So dun na nag-start 'yung gaming career," the actress recalled.  

When asked if she ever felt pressured or burned out at some point of her gaming career, she revealed: "May mga kailangan kasi kaming i-hit so kapag may partnerships ka may kailangan ka i-hit na KPIs, na parang may kailangan kang ma-hit na engagements, mga likes, mga views, mga shares so siyempre para i-renew ka ng isang partnership kailangan ma-maintain mo siya or mahigitin mo 'yung indicator na 'yun."

The Kapamilya star admitted that there was a time that she felt worn out from trying to hit her KPIs.

"So nung time na 'yun kasi hindi stable ang algorithm ng isang platform na pinagstre-streaman ko, pinagla-live-an ko, ayun parang inaraw-araw ko 'yun tapos sinabi ko sa mama ko na, 'Ma napapagod na ako,'" she admitted.

Despite the challenges of hitting her KPIs at that time, Sharlene earned the trust of her client because of her work ethics.

She shared: "Sabi ni mama makikita naman nila 'yung sipag mo na i-hit 'yun kahit hindi stable 'yung algorithm tapos ayun nga nakita nila 'yung sipag so nagtuluy-tuloy po siya."

Among the big milestones that Sharlene achieved through gaming was that she was able to save up for her first car.

"'Yung income kasi parang ako gusto ko na napupunta ko siya sa family savings pero nung time kasi na nag-livestream ako binigyan ako ni mama ng sarili kong account na parang allowance so parang may allowance ako. Iniipon ko siya buwan-buwan na parang binubuno ko siya tapos nakakatuwa kasi naiipon ko siya sa allowance ko lang," she said.

Aside from streaming, Sharlene hopes to venture into entrepreneurship in the future.

"Business goals meron akong dalawang business in mind, 'yung isa is for my family and 'yung isa gusto ko mag-release ng sarili kong brand kasi sobrang hilig ko sa damit," she relayed.

Despite her growing career in streaming, Sharlene highlighted that acting is something that she will not leave behind.

"Kasi siyempre parang first love ['yung acting], ayaw ko talaga siyang tanggalin. Parang lagi kong sinasabi kahit gaano ako maging ka-busy sa mga ginagawa ko sa buhay, kapag may project na talagang hindi ako nag-dalawang isip, o-oo-han ko po talaga kahit gaano ako ka-busy," she said.

In the same interview, the actress also shared her perspective when it comes to life and achieving her dreams. 

"Hindi ako masyadong napre-pressure kasi kapag alam kong para sa akin, kahit anong mangyari, alam kong para sa akin talaga 'yun. Hindi ko kailangan i-push or hindi ko kailangang ipilit," she stated.
