IMPROV PROMPTS FOR AUDITION **IN RUSSIAN ACCENT**
These are detailed but don’t need to be too long but want to give some color to help them improvise – looking for menacing, scary, and a real threat.
The Interrogation
You are a powerful figure in an underground organization. You’ve captured one of the Spy Ninjas and are interrogating them for crucial information. You’re menacing but calm, using intimidation through your tone and body language rather than violence. Improvise the conversation, alternating between chilling threats and moments of deceptive friendliness to break their will.
The Standoff
You’ve cornered the Spy Ninjas at a secret meeting, and they have something you desperately want—a priceless artifact. You’re outnumbered but unafraid. Improvise a speech where you explain why the Spy Ninjas are fools to challenge you, throwing in personal backstory hints about your ruthless rise to power. End by giving them one last warning to hand over the artifact.
