Is it what you say to the employee, the way you say it,the tone of voice or facial reactions?How do you get the point across that you are to be taken seriously, without threatening or offending them?

By showing them that you understand the job they do, what is asked of them, and why it needs to get done.
You will be taken seriously when they see you working hard, and that you know what you are talking about...be honest, and listen to your employees-some want to do well, some want a paycheck, some just want to gripe.
Effective management is leadership; you can be friendly, but not one of the boys; you must take responsibility not just for your actions, but also for those underneath you-if your crew member screws up, and you throw him under the bus to avoid criticism, you have lost respect from both your superiors and your crew.
There is no ned to act or talk tough, or to be mean, or yell...this is not effective management, it is just abuse; the modern worker will react with apathy, or worse. On the flip side, be sure to compliment workers on goals that are acheived, going above and beyond, etc...this will inspire others and you can show your loyalty to them.

The stage presentation isn't all that important. What's important is that they see you take your job seriously, which is to advocate for them, shield them from crap coming down from higher mgt., treat them with respect and fairness, etc.
Your question implies that someone isn't taking you seriously and is breaking the rules to test you. The other people will judge you more on what you do than what you say or how you say it. They expect you to be firm but fair. If the discipline is impartial they will respect you for upholding company norms.

Treat them like friends in leisure time, but make them know that where they are in office, you become the manager and they need to observe the discipline then.

don't try to boss them if they doing they job right. Hard working employees don't like that. Only boss the ones are new, or lazy!
