Beth Molaro has a great series of videos about calling, one of which addresses this question about half way through. Thank you Beth!

Often it is hard to hear the caller during the Walkthrough because of chatter from some of the dancers and the people sitting out.

Any thoughts as to what the caller should say to politely get people to be quiet?
