For me it depends on the driver. If they can take and prefer my yelling, I yell. If they'd rather me talk in a strong voice and closer to their ear, I do that. Some people don't respond to yelling under pressure and you can shoot yourself in the foot.
One thing I've found my self doing a lot more of is pointing. When I point, I make sure to put my hand as close to the glass as possible so that the driver can see where I'm pointing without looking out of the way.
