Talk to them instead of trying to instruct them: Make jokes, carry on conversation, but keep shooting while you do it. It will look more natural and people will tend to look towards you when you converse with them. I've had the chance to talk to some world renown photographers and one of the best pieces of advice I got in regards to shooting portraits was, "Keep them talking, you'll end up with something good."
