Verbalizing is your best bet, doing so before you touch your chips.  On the other hand, if you're new to live play, adrenaline will get a hold of you, which may cause shaking.  Shaking will be heard in your voice, so I would try to minimize being verbal when you have a good hand.

However, if you don't verbalize your action, do not cross the line with more chips than you plan on using.  If you're calling, just grab the amount of chips you're calling with and place them.  If you cross the line with more than you plan to place, it will be considered a raise and any chips over the line are considered in play, even if you're still holding them.

Hope this makes sense, I'm not the best at describing things.

Also, if you go to showdown, don't slow roll.  If you know or even think you won, show your cards right away.  Nobody likes thinking they win when in fact you just felt like taking your time to show the nuts.

If you're not sure if you won or not, show your cards anyway.. I've thrown away the best hand at least once cause I misheard the dealer, or didn't see the hand on the board.

Another important thing to know, when going to showdown is, if you bet, and someone calls you, you have to show first.  Sometimes the caller knows he won and is far from hesitant to flip over his cards.  But it's not the norm.
