Make it easier to warm up quickly to a foreign audience by talking to as many persons who will make up your audience as possible before you start your speech or presentation.
Then when you are on the stage or in front of them you can quickly pick up out these persons in the audience and speak for a few seconds to each of them.
You'll find this especially helpful if you are naturally a more introverted, reserved persons -- especially when you are on the stage.
Once you start this during your presentation you will find it easier to gradually include all or many more in your audience in your brief one-to-one- discussion -- creating a much friendlier, attentive atmosphere.
As you gradually develop this rapport with your audience will also find it easier stay tuned to how your ideas or explanations are being received and adapt your material and presentation style accordingly.
