I was assuming this was in the context of a conversation, where even if sound fails they will be looking at you and it will be obvious that you were talking.

If you're trying to talk to someone who's not looking at you, that's different.

Perhaps importantly, I'm often talking to people who I'm not looking at, so I don't time my utterances for when they'd be looking at my mouth and would notice me talking. This seems pretty easy to learn to fix, so I'll try that.
