Voice Control

Loudness: Commands should be audible and understandable.
Volume: Achieved through good posture, ease, proper breathing, and accurate timing.
Diaphragm: Used in delivering commands.

Parts and Types of Commands

Preparatory Command: Indicates the movement to be executed and mentally prepares the soldier. Example: "PASULONG KAD" (Preparatory command: PASULONG)
Command of Execution: Signals when the movement should be carried out. Example: "PASULONG KAD" (Command of Execution: KAD)
Exceptions to the "NA" rule for Command of Execution:

Combined Commands: Preparatory command and command of execution are combined. Given without inflection, at a uniform pitch and loudness. Examples: "HUMANAY" (Fall In), "PALUWAG" (At Ease), "LUMANSAG" (Dismiss).
Supplementary Commands: Oral orders by a subordinate leader to reinforce or complement the commander's orders. Given between the preparatory command and command of execution.
Mass Command: Purpose is to build confidence and enthusiasm. Useful for developing command voice during leadership training. The commander commands "SA AKING PAG-UTOS" (At My Command) before giving the preparatory command.
Directives: Oral orders by the commander, directing a subordinate leader to take action. Given in sentence form and often prefixed. Examples: "ITANGHAL ANG SANDATA," "IPAHAYAG ANG KAUTUSAN," "PAMUNUAN ANG INYONG PANGKAT O TILAP, PULUTONG, BALANGAY."
