Rob Morgan emphasizes the importance of having a survival job to gain financial stability and the confidence to approach auditions with the mindset of "you need me more than I need you". He encourages actors to own their auditions, presenting their authentic selves and focusing on their understanding of the material rather than trying to fit a mold.
