After pursuing her acting career in Hollywood, Liza Soberano finally gets her big break playing the bubbly stepsister Taffy in "Lisa Frankenstein."

In an exclusive roundtable interview at the Red Apple Studio in Pasig on Jan. 15, Liza shared that she felt unworthy and nervous while preparing for the role.

"I was very nervous coming into it because I honestly felt that I was not good enough, to be cast as Taffy. I felt undeserving in a way but with anything that I do. I always try my hardest," Liza said.

Liza was informed of her role in the movie weeks before filming began.

"As soon as I found out, that I was cast for the role which was a week before we started the film. Like every day, I think I've probably read the script four times because I want to digest it and pick up on all the nuances that I probably didn't pick up during the first two sets of my audition," Liza said.

Liza was able to fully embody her character, Taffy, by not holding back and allowing herself to be more creative in her scenes. 

''I wanted to get a great grasp of what was expected from me, and I gave it my all. I try not to hold which was my tendency before, because I always try to control and give people what I thought they wanted, instead of allowing myself to be creative and express," she said.

Liza considers working with Director Zelda Williams, daughter of the late actor Robin Williams, a great experience. She found Zelda's presence in the film less intimidating and they bonded over their unique Filipino perspectives.

"Because we became friends before we started filming, it just made it less intimidating working on set. The thing about me and Zelda is we bond over us being Filipinos from different perspectives because she's never been in the Philippines," Liza said. 

She also said that she felt safe and at home since some fellow Filipinos were working on set.

"It was a proud and full-circle moment because it was a new challenge for me, but also I felt safe and at home because fellow Filipino were working on set and Zelda is just an amazing and creative person," Liza added.  

Despite the adjustment, Liza got the help that she needed from her co-stars including Cole Sprouse. During the interview, Liza revealed that Cole gave her advice when it comes to working on the Hollywood scene.

"I was getting few pointers from him, like on how Hollywood works and everything. What are the do's and don'ts, and who are the people I should meet, so he was giving a lot of industry tips," Liza said.

The actress added that she had a crying session with Cole when they started filming.

"He kinda picked up at that time, that I was like hesitant and nervous with my whole career shift, like going into Hollywood and everything. So he started giving me a lot of advice and tips, that I didn't actually asked for. So he kind of sensed that I needed to hear it, I had a crying session with him," Liza added. 

Liza can relate to Taffy

Becoming a step-sister to Kathryn Newton in the film, Liza also mentioned that she relates to her being the "panganay" to nine younger siblings. 

"I always say that I feel like I was put into this world to be a sister. Whether that be to my siblings or just like to my friends, I have this very nurturing energy, that I release every time I'm around the people I care and love the most," Liza said. 

She also said that she had an instant connection with Taffy's character because of her personality. 

"I had an instant connection with her. She’s such a fun character to play. She’s such a sweetheart. She’s genuinely nice to everybody, no matter what the situation or circumstance is. And she loves life," Liza added. 

Although sometimes she admitted that she's a bit ''pakialamera'' when it comes to the young ones.

"In relation to taffy, we're both selfless when it comes to loving our siblings but also very pakialamera because of course we want what's best for siblings, and being an older sibling, you go through a lot way ahead of time. And you wanna be able to avoid them," Liza said. 

''Lisa Frankenstein" is a coming-of-age love story by acclaimed writer Diablo Cody.

The story follows Lisa Swallos (Kathryn Newton), the awkward 17-year-old trying to adjust to a new school and a new life after her mother’s demise and her father’s hasty remarriage.

Lisa only finds solace in the abandoned cemetery near her house, where she tends to the grave of a young man who died in 1837. Things start to get messy when the young man from the grave played by Cole Sprouse rises from the dead.

The two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness... and a few missing body parts along the way.
