Since we do have larger venue games where a mic is available at one particular stadium I still "verbalize" the words as I give the signals in those stadiums where I am not micked up, just to keep me in good form. No one except the players (if they are even listening) and maybe the coaches can here it though without a mic.
I have found that a good preliminary signal is something too many Rs forget or simply don't do. As soon as the foul is reported to me I give a prelim signal, before I even start considering enforcement options, so coachs can have an idea of what's up.
