Worcestershire sauce if full of secret ingredients, so if I told you I'd have to kill you. It''s a sauce from Worcestershire.
It's very close in resemblance to soy, not soya, sauce. So yes you can use it as an alternative without any repercussions.
Go for it.
Signed someone who is from Worcestershire.

No.
However, Worcestershire sauce is a VERY English version of a Chinese sauce made from soya sauce and oyster sauce.
Traditional Chinese sauce is soya sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar and sugar.
Worcestershire sauce is very similar taste using different ingredients (replaces oyster with anchovies, no alcohol).
Worcestershire sauce is overpowering on it's own in Chinese dishes, but I have used it in place of oyster sauce whenever I have run out. Cut with sugar and soya sauce in Chinese sauce.
Even here in Hong Kong, local fast food will add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or 'Maggi' sauce to a local dish to spice it up.

No soya sauce is totally different. Worcestershire sauce is best in Tomatoe Juice or Cheese on toast, or very good with Cod Roe

Worcestershire sauce is a fermented garlic vinegar with added spices. It was originally made as a medicine, but a case of it got lost in shipment and was found some years later in the basement of a chemists' shop. He tried tasting it, and found that it had completely changed its taste due to the fermentation process, and tried it on various foods. He then started to make it for himself and to sell and it soon became popular as a dressing. When first marketed by Lea and Perrins, the label had the name "Worcester Sauce" on it exactly 145 times!

You can use Worcestershire sauce as a flavouring for almost any savoury dish! particularly nice with tomato dishes or on cheese on toast!

Soya sauce isn't really a good replacement for Worcester, the flavour is too different. Worcester sauce looks like soya but contains anchovies, and has a spicy flavour a bit like diluted brown sauce. You'd be better off using that as a replacement.
Worcester goes well with red meat, cheese, and tomato. You can use it in spaghetti sauces, meat stews and marinades, soups, and sprinkled on cheese on toast or omelette as they're cooking.

Check the sodium content of each before you substitute them. While worcestershire has only 40 some odd mgs. Soy sauce has over 400.

Worcestershire & Soya are two different tasting sauces.
Worcestershire is used to flavour.. dips, salad dressings & so on.
Soya is used to falvour... vegetables, pasta's & such...
Hope this helps.

It gives a really nice kick to tomato type sauces and also to cheese on toast. I wouldn't substitute soya sauce, the taste is very different (although both are yummy!) - that's not to say it wouldnt work just they are different and I never tried it.
