The first thing you need to do is to practice your voice. Your voice should be loud, deep and you should speak somewhat slowly. Then you should be easy to understand even in a noisy setting. No yelling though. Use enough facial expressions and strong body language that they want to hear what you're saying.
But the more important thing is to have such a strong frame that they wil lean in to you. If you're intresting enough, they will do it. It's hard to show such strong frame while opening, but you will learn it with practice. Get them to invest from the start.
Great response Sabro!
He has got some great points here. The other thing I use is just beckon her closer with my finger so she can lean into me and hear me.
If you must lean in a bit make sure she's leaning in more than you are.
