vocally
Using spoken words
Vocally means by means of the voice: She expressed her displeasure vocally rather than in writing.
More commonly, vocally emphasizes public or emphatic expression of opinion: He has been vocally opposed to the new policy.
Someone who is vocally critical doesn't just disagree—they make their disagreement heard.
