Best choices: speak clearly and ask if the other person understands you.
Why: clear speech makes the message intelligible, and asking for confirmation (ideally a read‑back/closed‑loop) verifies comprehension. Speaking loudly is unnecessary if audible and can be misinterpreted; skipping details risks errors — give concise but complete instructions (and consider writing them down or using a standard format like SBAR).
