Then you're doing something right.
Because it means they don't want to talk.
Their hand is on their chin, almost over their mouth.

You need to adapt your body language to the culture you're working in.
In Morocco, for example, it's completely acceptable to give a presentation
with your hands behind your back.
In Japan and the Far East, people can find it difficult to make eye contact.
So if you're looking at your audience and
you're seeing that they have got their eyes closed,
it's not because they are bored, it's because they are listening attentively.
The bottom line is that you need to adjust your approach so
that your audience feels at ease and is also attentive.

So you've seen how important body language is to get your message across effectively.
It's important how you stand, how you use your hands, facial gestures, and
eye contact.
