Unti-unting nare-realize ng aktres na si Liza Soberano na ibang-iba ang buhay niya ngayon sa Amerika kumpara noong nasa Pilipinas pa siya kung saan bongga ang kanyang career.

Sa part 2 ng vlog ng dating aktor na si Edward Barber, nag-open up ang aktres at inamin na isinakripisyo niya ang malaking kinikita niya noon sa Pilipinas kapalit ng desisyong i-pursue ang kanyang Hollywood dream.

“Now, I think that I moved to LA obviously, money is the biggest thing that I’ve sacrificed because I could be here in the Philippines doing the same thing I’ve been doing since I was 12, making lots of money,” pahayag ni Liza.

Isa nga sa malaking income niya noon ay mula sa kanyang kabi-kabilang product endorsements.

“Endorsements pay really well, not taping and movies, but endorsements pay really well,” lahad niya.

“I could still be easily just doing that and still making the same amount of money that I used to, but now I don’t. That’s what I sacrificed to be living in LA,” pag-amin niya.

Aminado rin siyang isinakripisyo rin niya ang comfort na nararanasan niya noon sa Pilipinas.

“Because now that I’m living in LA, obviously, I’m a new artist, so I’m going through all the ‘new artist things,’” aniya.

Nasasaktan daw siya kapag sinasabi ng mga tao na ‘laos’ na siya at gumagawa na lang ng small gigs sa United States (US). Hindi raw naiintindihan ng iba na ginagawa niya ito para mabuhay.

“When I first moved to LA, it really hurt me when people would be like, ‘Oh, laos na s’ya, we don’t see her anywhere,’ ‘Oh, laos na s’ya, she’s like only doing these small little influencer gigs.’

“But guys, that’s how I stay alive. I’m not making as much money as I did before. And on top of that, the majority of my money still comes from Asia, but I’m living in the US.

“So the conversion is crazy. And so I have to do all these little gigs every now and then because that’s how I pay my bills and that’s the price that I’m paying so that I can fulfill this ambition or dream of mine,” pagbubulgar ni Liza.

Gumagastos pa raw siya para sa acting classes, vocal lessons, at self-tapes na ipinapadala niya para sa mga auditions.

“And it’s not cheap. Like every self-tape, I spent like $500,” pagtatapat niya.

Sa isang linggo raw ay nagpapadala siya ng 3–4 self-tapes sa iba’t ibang auditions, ngunit madalas ay hindi natatanggap at patuloy na nare-reject.

Samantalang sa Pilipinas ay hindi raw niya naranasan ang mag-audition.

“In America, I audition for everything, and I do like 3–4 auditions a week and I get rejected constantly. So, imagine having to deal with that.

“Coming from a country where they would mold a show and a movie around me. And then all of a sudden, having to go there and audition for everything every day just to be rejected over and over again,” kuwento niya.

Magkagayunpaman, ayos lang daw ito sa kanya dahil marami rin siyang natutunan.

“I’m learning and growing so much,” sey niya.

Pahabol niya, “It’s okay, cause I’m doing the thing that I said I wanted to do.”
