The first half of your sentence said nothing about verbalizing. Of course, it is awfully silly to not be willing to say something to make your action clearer and speed up the game. No one is going to get a tell based on the way you say "raise".
Personally, I verbalize, but also always put the correct amount in, and still don't slow down the game. I keep my chips in 2 sets of short stacks of the correct size to bet or raise.
If you're not slowing down the game, do it however you want. If you're slowing down the game, it's not a shrug, it's disrespectful.
