Precept is a promise or pledge to abstain from certain actions. When you break a precept you break the promise, i.e., you pledged you will abstain but you have done what you promised not to do. You should retake the precept, i.e., promise or pledge to abide by the rule of abstaining.
Also saying them loudly maybe you are psychologically more serious about preserving or abiding by them. Also as with any pledge or promise you should mean it and have intention to keep it.
